Drying clothes is something that needs to be done every day, and the correct drying method can prolong the life of clothes, and can also prevent the growth of bacteria, and it is very dry to wear.
However, there are many misconceptions about the drying method.
1. Clothes are dried like this, just wait to get sick!
1. Blind drying
The so-called "shade drying" is to dry naturally in a cool place without basking in the sun or drying, and many people like this way of drying. It will not hurt the clothes, and it can achieve the effect of natural drying.
However, the drying method of "shade drying" has great requirements for temperature, humidity and air circulation, and cannot be "blindly shade dried". Otherwise, it is easy to cause the clothes to stink.
The reason why clothes stink is because they are damp for a long time, which breeds bacteria, fungi, and so on.
In addition to smelling and smelling, such clothes can easily contaminate the skin with bacteria and fungi, causing symptoms such as acne, itching, and skin allergies. It can even be inhaled into the body and cause respiratory diseases.
Therefore, it is not possible to blindly choose the drying method in the shade. For example, if you encounter situations such as returning to the south of the day, the rainy season, rainy days, poor ventilation conditions, etc., it is not suitable to choose the "shade drying" drying method.
2. Put it in a bucket or washing machine for a long time
Some people are impatient and throw their clothes in the washing machine, go out or go to bed, and wait until they get up the next day to dry them.
If the laundry is left in the bucket or washing machine all the time. Because the environment is humid and stuffy, it is easy to breed bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms.
Studies have shown that when wet and unventilated, bacteria multiply 3-4 times faster than usual. In other words, if clothes are kept in a bucket or washing machine for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria and fungi, which can cause odors. It's even dirtier than when you didn't wash it.
Therefore, after washing, you must remember to dry your clothes, preferably no more than 3 hours. If this time is exceeded, it is best to wash it again.
2. What should I do if my clothes stink?
Once the clothes stink, it means that bacteria and fungi have grown. Even after drying and exposure, there will still be a peculiar smell. The best way is to wash it again, so that the bacteria, fungus, and odor can be removed.

1. Inverted V-shaped hanging method
If you want your clothes to dry quickly, the way you hang your clothes is also crucial, and it's best to use the "inverted V-shaped hanging method". That is, the two ends of the hanger are long clothes, and the middle is short clothes, forming an upside-down V-shape. The advantage of drying in this way is to improve the effect of ventilation.
2. Blow dry with an electric fan
After adopting the "inverted V-shaped hanging method", you can also put an electric fan in the place where the clothes are dried. Increased air convection speeds up drying.
3. Add "disinfectant" when washing clothes
The reason why clothes stink is mainly because of bacteria, fungi. When we wash clothes, we add some disinfectants, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection. If the clothes can't be dried in time, it can also reduce the probability of smelliness.
4. Use a dryer
If it's a rainy day, the washed clothes can be stuffed directly into the dryer. Not only can it quickly dry clothes, but it also has a sterilizing effect, which is no worse than sun exposure.
5. Use a dryer
The price of the dryer is more expensive, and for ordinary people, the dryer is more cost-effective. After the clothes are spun dry, hang them directly in the dryer. In about 2 hours, the clothes are basically dry, and it also has a sterilizing effect.
6. Hair dryer + plastic bag for fast drying
If you are in a hurry to get dressed, you can try to use a hair dryer + plastic bag to dry quickly.
Prepare a dry bath towel, then spread the wet clothes on top of the bath towel, roll up the towel and towel, and wring it out. In this way, the moisture on the top of the clothes can be absorbed, so that the clothes are in a semi-dry state.
Then prepare a plastic bag, and cut two small openings at the bottom of the bag to facilitate the discharge of moisture. Then put the clothes in and tie the bag tightly so that you can tuck it into the mouth of the hair dryer.
Finally, turn on the hair dryer and blow into the bag. It is equivalent to the accelerated version of the dryer, which only takes ten or twenty minutes to dry the clothes.
