**2 Things to Note When Doing Laundry During the Humid Season**
*Choose the right time to do laundry:*
Avoid doing laundry in the evening or at night. Leaving wet clothes overnight can lead to dampness and mildew. Instead, opt for laundry during the day or early morning when there’s less likelihood of rain, giving your clothes ample time to dry.
*Don’t do laundry on rainy days:*
Doing laundry on rainy days will make drying clothes a challenge, leading to dampness and an unpleasant smell. If you must wash on rainy days, hand-wash and air dry indoors, utilizing fans or dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process.
**3 Things to Note When Drying Clothes During the Humid Season**
*On sunny days:*
Take advantage of sunny days to air dry your clothes outdoors. They will dry faster and smell fresher. Ensure you spread the clothes evenly and widely to maximize sun exposure.
Hang clothes on hangers or use clothespins to help them dry faster while maintaining their shape and avoiding wrinkles.
*On rainy days:*
Choose a suitable indoor spot for drying, avoiding the kitchen due to food odors, and the bathroom, as clothes will struggle to dry and are more likely to develop a musty smell.
*Use a dryer if necessary:*
If you lack indoor drying space or are facing prolonged bad weather, a dryer is a useful solution to get your clothes dry quickly. However, keep in mind that a dryer only removes moisture and doesn’t enhance cleanliness or fragrance. To ensure bacteria and mold are eliminated, iron your clothes before wearing them.
After washing, allow your clothes and underwear to dry completely before storing them away. Use moisture-absorbing bags in your wardrobe and lingerie boxes to reduce humidity and prevent mildew.
Wash each piece of underwear separately, soak them in fabric softener, and air dry them individually to speed up the drying process. Use warm water for washing and ensure they are entirely dry before storing them in a designated drawer or shelf.
Following these tips will help you keep your clothes clean, fresh-smelling, and free from dampness and mildew during the humid season. Good luck with your laundry and clothing care during this challenging weather!
