How to Wash and Dry Clothes Quickly on Rainy Days?
Even though doing laundry is easy, but during this period Thailand is entering the rainy season, causing heavy rain in many areas. Many people often have problems with doing laundry, whether it is no sun, having to do laundry indoors, humid air, laundry not drying, or clothes having a musty smell. These problems can be solved by using techniques for washing clothes on rainy days that will help solve the problems that many people encounter. Today we would like to share washing techniques from Japanese housewives that will make your laundry easier.
Why should you use Japanese housewife laundry techniques?
Although Japan is called the Land of the Rising Sun, it rains almost every day. One of the problems that most Japanese housewives will encounter is the same as us. Because of this headache, many Japanese housewives use different washing techniques to specifically solve the problem of washing clothes in the rainy season. It can be done easily with only 5 steps.
1. Line the clothesline with newspaper.
This technique is considered a popular technique in Japan. Just find some newspaper, crumple it up and place it under the clothes that are drying. This will create a gap between the floor and the newspaper. The newspaper will help absorb moisture, allowing the clothes to dry quickly. Allowing the newspaper to come into contact with the air will help it absorb moisture faster.
2. Leave a distance of at least 5 centimeters between the fabrics.
If drying clothes using hangers, there should be a gap of at least 5 centimeters between the hangers, which is a suitable distance. Because if they are hung too close together, it will be difficult for air to circulate, the clothes will dry slowly, and may cause musty smells.
3. Put dry towels in the washing machine before draining the water.
For those who wash clothes with a washing machine, before the washing machine drains the water, press to stop working temporarily and put a dry towel in the spin because the towel will help absorb the water, making it dry faster. But you should be careful of dust from the towel sticking to the clothes. Before using, make sure that there is no dust on it. And should use a clean towel in order to remove all the fluff from the towel first. Do not use a new towel.
4. Dry the clothes inside out.
Drying inside out will help clothes dry faster, especially clothes with thick fabrics or with pockets. Because the seams of the clothes take longer to dry than usual, we should turn the clothes inside out before drying every time. This will help the clothes dry faster than usual.
5. Dry clothes in a curved line.
In case of drying with clothespins, you must arrange the position according to the length of the cloth. Additionally, arranging the position in an arc shape with the longest cloth on the outside and the shortest cloth in the middle. This method will allow more air to flow into the middle area and distribute it evenly, helping the cloth to dry faster.
