While on one hand the winter season brings cold and comfort, on the other hand it also creates many problems in daily tasks. One of the biggest problems is clothes not drying. There is less sunlight, there is more humidity in the air and clothes dried inside the house often start smelling of dampness.
In such situations, many times one does not feel like washing clothes. But with a little understanding and right methods, this problem can be easily solved. If your clothes dry late in winter or have a strange smell, then these easy hacks can reduce your problems to a great extent.
While washing clothes in winter, the most important thing is to remove all the water from them. If you use a washing machine, make sure to run extra spin mode. People who wash clothes by hand should squeeze the clothes thoroughly. The less water remains in the clothes, the faster they will dry.
Often, due to lack of space, people hang clothes close to each other. Due to this, air does not circulate properly and clothes take more time to dry. Try to leave some space between each cloth, so that air can circulate easily.
If the sun is not shining, there is no need to panic. Let natural air come in by opening the windows of the house. Apart from this, hanging clothes below the fan is also a good way. The moisture present in the clothes is quickly removed by the air of the fan.
To dry clothes, choose a place where there is less humidity. Avoid drying clothes in the bathroom or kitchen, because there is more humidity there. If possible, hang clothes near the balcony or window.
Hanging thick clothes like sweaters, jeans or jackets upside down causes their inner part to dry quickly. This also reduces the possibility of bad smell in clothes.
If any important clothes need to be dried immediately, they can be ironed on low flame. Due to heat, moisture in clothes quickly disappears and they become unwearable.
