Many of you would say that drying clothes is a simple process and needs no advice, but this is not always the case. Each one of us has our own ways and places to dry our clothes. This is a habit and a daily routine that can hardly be changed and broken, but let's take a closer look at this topic.
We will divide the topic into two. Drying clothes during the warm part of the year and during the cold, and we will not talk much about the 1st.
1.Drying clothes in summer. Summer is vacation time for all of us including our dryer. However, many housewives are too busy to arrange the clothes on the terrace waiting for them to dry, so they just press the button and the clothes come out dry. However, it is "most useful" for our clothes to be taken out on the balcony or under the shed to dry naturally. The dryer can wrinkle clothes and can deform and destroy their structure. The rule here is only that the clothes should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Of course, if you have no other alternative, at least turn the clothes inside out with the seams facing out, because the sun and especially its UV rays will cause your clothes to lose their shine and strength. And now comes the more important part of the article.
2.Drying clothes in winter. This is where you are most likely to make a mistake. For a moment, forget the past, where your grandmothers dried clothes near the stove. Today there are fewer and fewer stoves, but drying inside is becoming more and more popular, and this is extremely incorrect and harmful. First of all, we must note the harm that moisture from clothes causes to our health. Moisture is capable of causing mold, which in turn can cause headaches, the feeling of shortness of breath, asthma or allergies... just terrible. Even the air conditioner or heater would have a hard time drying the humid air. However, if you have decided to dry the clothes in a room that is not inhabited and heated, then we have another news for you... it does not work there either. When the temperature in the room drops below 11-12 degrees, moisture stops evaporating into the air and is absorbed directly into the walls and ceilings. This can lead to very negative consequences for the walls and even for the building structure itself. What about in the kitchen? The kitchen is also occupied, so it's not right there either. In addition, wet clothes absorb odors very intensively. And if you have decided to cook, you should be aware that the next day your clothes will constantly "remind" you of your latest exploits in the kitchen.
In the bathroom, the walls are protected by tiles, so can I dry my wet clothes there? No, you can't. Actually you can, but it's not right. By presumption, the bathroom is the wettest room in our home, so the process of drying the clothes inside would be very slow. So much so that it is entirely possible that the clothes themselves will mold from the moisture, so you should not use this room either. The only place where it is acceptable to dry clothes is in the attic, but provided that you have one. If you don't have a ceiling or a dryer, my advice to you is to always dry your clothes outside (on the terrace or under a shed). No matter how cold or wet it is. Sooner or later, the clothes will dry without creating a danger for you and your family. However, if you do not have a balcony outside, you must follow a few simple rules.
1. Although most washing machines spin clothes, it is a good idea to shake them vigorously on the window before putting them in the room. Some fabrics retain more water than others. (you can spin your clothes twice)
2. Ventilate the room regularly.
3. Place the dryer under the air conditioner to dry clothes faster.
4. Buy a special dehumidifier to regulate the humidity in the room and capture excess moisture.
5. Dry the clothes in a room that is not inhabited and maintain a temperature of at least 20 degrees Celsius.
