When it rains you notice how washing machines accumulate while you wait for the sun to return. So, if the situation drags on longer than usual, you will have no choice but to hang inside the house. This can be harmful for people who have asthma or allergies due to the moisture that is generated. In addition, this humidity favors the proliferation of viruses, fungi and bacteria. To hang inside the house it is advisable to follow the following steps:
Clothesline
Buy a folding clothesline, preferably made of stainless steel or plastic, since poor quality metals can rust and end up staining clothes. There is a wide variety of clotheslines from which to choose the one that best suits your home.
The right place
Look for a place free of humidity and with the maximum possible ventilation inside your house. In this way you avoid that the moisture that comes from the clothes occupies the room. Natural air accelerates drying, so as much as possible, open doors and windows.
Ventilation is preferable
If you have a choice, choose a room that you do not use much, avoiding the dining room, your bedroom and the bathroom. The best places are the kitchen or spacious rooms, with drafts or near a window.If the clothes come out of the washing machine very wet, it is advisable to put a second spin.
Tend quickly
When the time comes to tend, it is essential to do it as soon as the washing machine program is finished. The first thing to do is shake the clothes energetically, garment by garment. With this you get two things: remove lint and other debris and stretch it so that it has fewer wrinkles and saves you ironing time.
On the other hand, to get the clothes to dry faster, opt for this placement: small clothes, such as socks and underwear in the center; medium clothing, such as T-shirts, on the outer rods; and heavier clothing, such as towels, on the sides of the clothesline.
The placement of clothes is very important
Collocation
Leave space between the garments, do not put them glued to each other and even less overlapping. This way the air will pass through and they will dry faster. If you put them too close together, clothes can get bad smells.Turn the clothes over to dry on both sides.
Hangers
In case you do not have a folding clothesline, you can use the following trick: place clothes on hangers and hang them on the shower curtain rod, leaving space between one garment and another. You can also use rotating clothes hangers, which save space and can dry faster. With the use of hangers you can prevent clothes from wrinkled and moistened. This trick is ideal for jackets, shirts and dresses.
Finally, take note of these additional tips: take the opportunity to hang inside the house so that it dries when you are going to be outside, do not wash a lot of clothes at once because you will not have enough space to hang, it will be more difficult for it to dry and mold may even appear, store clothes only when they are completely dry and, once you pick them up, ventilates the room.
