I could see that being a problem around here. Every so often we are downwind enough to get the "odors" from one of the nearby chicken farms. I wouldn't be able to stand that on my clothing!! We used to live near a marsh when I was in middle school. I'm SO glad my mother never insisted on line drying when we lived there!! That smell would keep me up at night!When we lived at my inlaw's farm, we had to redo a few of loads of laundry thanks to the neighbouring farmer spreading pig poo on his fields! OMG, that stuff is nasty. It stinks for miles around and seeps right into your clothes.
At our old house we had the rack either in the kitchen or the living room. Someday my kids will be big enough to use that shower for actual showers; but until then, I'm glad I have that space for the rack! Even if it is across the house from the laundry closet. It's not big enough for the rack; even if we didn't have the litter boxes in there.
I have to put a drying rack up in the living room. We have no laundry room, only a nook. When it's nice out we stick the rack outside.
I have one that climbs the rack too, Samwise does it all the time.
