1Before washing

Prior to washing, it is recommended to soak excessively dirty clothes in water to remove dirt and make the washing process easier and faster. Avoid leaving dirty clothes stacked for too long after rainy days, as this can create a favorable environment for bacteria growth. It is advisable to wash dirty clothes as soon as possible to prevent bacterial and mold accumulation, which can cause unpleasant odors during rainy days.

2Washing clothes in the morning

Washing clothes in the morning is ideal, especially during the humid rainy season. This allows the clothes to have ample time to dry throughout the day. Contrary to common belief, washing clothes at night may result in dampness, high humidity, and lack of sunlight, leading to unpleasant odors.

3Appropriate amount of clothes to wash

Whether washing by hand or using a machine, it is important to avoid washing too many clothes at once. Overloading the washing machine can result in insufficient cleaning and ineffective wringing, leading to longer drying times and potential mold growth. Follow the recommended load capacity of your washing machine to ensure optimal cleaning and faster drying, while also prolonging the lifespan of the machine.

4Drying and ironing

In unfavorable weather conditions, using a drying machine can help quickly dry clothes and prevent the growth and development of bacteria and mold. Alternatively, if your machine does not have a drying function, you can invest in a separate clothes dryer to remove most of the remaining water before hanging them up to dry. Ironing clothes before wearing them not only enhances their appearance but also eliminates residual moisture, keeping them fresh and clean.

5Choosing drying tools and space

To promote fast and efficient drying, use hangers to hang up clothes and choose a well-ventilated space with good air circulation. Avoid stacking or hanging clothes too closely together, as this can hinder water evaporation and potentially lead to moisture and mold issues. If you have ample space, such as a large balcony, utilize a long clothesline or metal wire to allow the clothes to spread out and dry faster.

6Storing clothes

During wet weather, especially in the rainy season, it can be challenging to fully dry clothes. It is important not to store slightly damp clothes in the closet, as this can lead to damage and potential mold growth. If clothes are still slightly damp, ensure they are completely dry before storing them in the closet.
