As the old saying goes, "clothes have three don't dry", 3 bad habits for drying clothes, see if you have them
Dear readers and friends, hello everyone! Today, let's talk about a seemingly simple but often overlooked small detail of life - drying clothes. As the old saying goes, "clothes are not dried three times", behind which there is a profound wisdom of life and health. Next, let's take a look at these three bad habits of drying clothes, have you "hit"?
1. Mixed drying of underwear and outer clothes
Many people like to hang their underwear and outerwear on the balcony in order to save trouble. Although this may seem convenient, it is actually a big health hazard. You think, the coat is exposed to the wind and sun outside every day, and it comes into contact with a lot of bacteria and dust; The underwear is directly close to the body, if it is mixed with the outer clothes, those bacteria and dust are likely to adhere to the underwear, and then endanger our health.
Therefore, it is recommended that you try to dry your underwear and outer clothes separately. If possible, it is best to have a dedicated drying area to ensure the cleanliness of the underwear and avoid cross-contamination.
2. Drying time is too long
Some people may think that the longer you leave your clothes dry, the drier they are, but they don't. Drying clothes for too long will not only make the clothes stiff and deformed, but also breed more bacteria. Especially in the humid southern region, if the clothes have been dried for several days, it is more likely to become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
Therefore, we need to control the drying time reasonably according to the weather conditions and the material of the clothes. Generally speaking, cotton, hemp and other easy-to-dry clothes can be dried for a few hours in sunny weather; High-end clothing such as silk and wool require more careful care, and it is best to dry in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight.
Third, the drying environment is not good
The quality of the drying environment directly affects the drying effect and wearing comfort of the clothes. If the drying environment is too humid and dark, or if there is an obvious source of contamination around, the clothes that are dried will not only be difficult to dry, but may also carry odors and bacteria.
Therefore, we should try to choose a ventilated, dry and clean environment for drying clothes. For example, when drying on the balcony, make sure that the balcony is well ventilated to avoid overcrowding of clothes; When drying indoors, you can use a special drying rack or dryer to ensure that the laundry is fully dried.
Okay, after talking about the three bad habits of drying clothes, let's talk about how to develop good drying habits!
1. Sort and dry
Separate underwear, outerwear, socks, towels and other different types of clothing to avoid cross-infection. At the same time, it is also necessary to classify the clothing according to the material and color to avoid the fading of dark clothes and the contamination of light-colored clothes.
2. Control the drying time
Control the drying time according to the weather conditions and the material of the clothes. Generally speaking, in sunny and moderate weather, clothes can be dried for a few hours; In rainy or humid areas, you need to use auxiliary tools such as dryers or fans to speed up the drying of clothes.
3. Pay attention to the drying environment
Choose a ventilated, dry, and clean environment to dry. If possible, install a drying rack or drying rail so that the laundry can be fully unfolded and exposed to sunlight. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid drying clothes in heavily polluted areas to avoid contamination of clothes.
4. Clean drying tools regularly
Drying tools should also be cleaned and disinfected regularly! For example, drying racks, clotheslines, etc., if they are not cleaned for a long time, bacteria and mold can also grow. Therefore, it is recommended that you wash your drying tools with water and soap every once in a while to ensure that they are clean and hygienic.
In short, although drying clothes is a small matter, it is related to our physical health and quality of life. As long as we develop good drying habits, we can make our clothes cleaner, drier and more comfortable to accompany us through every day! I hope you find this article helpful!
