I think family size is the kicker. My kids are really active and exploratory. So residue and odor leaves me needing to do multiple loads a week. I know scientifically when it comes to bacteria and odor I could do the deep freeze/freezer thing....but I just can't.

There are some items we have to hang dry. Those I can keep on the one hanging rack. If I did it for everything though my 3-4 loads a week means my office/desk/craft space is now basically permanently occupied by laundry. Summer is more feasible......that's only three months of consitent +13 C for my area though. :'(

IDK your living situation, but that "bit of room" might be a lot in smaller homes. My first room as a college student wouldn't even fit a full-size drying rack, and it was definitely in the way in most of my places since then. And it's going to be a lot more often than once every 2 weeks if there's more than one inhabitant, and depending on what how thick the clothes are and the air humidity, 24h is not enough to dry everything.
