JAKARTA - Rainy season is a challenge for many people who wash clothes and keep clothes dry quickly, clean, and fragrant. High air humidity can slow down the drying process and cause unpleasant odors.

To help overcome this problem, here are some practical tips so that your clothes dry quickly and don't smell good even in the middle of the rainy season summarized by VOI from Toshiba Indonesia's official broadcast.

Use a formulated determinant to remove smell and kill bacteria. Add a clothing softener that has a fresh aroma to keep clothes fragrant. However, don't use excess detergents because it can leave residue that is difficult to rinse off. This residue then invites bacteria and fungi, especially when clothes are not dry and perfect. It is better to use enough detergent according to the recommended measure.

Although soaking clothes is very good for removing stains and a very stubborn smell, you can only soak your clothes for 30 minutes to an hour to remove dirt. Soaking certain fabrics for too long will only damage the fiber. Try using vinegar and soda cake instead. Both have been known to fight stains and stubborn odors.

Make sure clothes are extorted optimally to reduce water levels. If you have a washing machine with a dryer feature (spin dry), use a high round setting to dry out faster clothes. Dryers can dry up to 90% of clothes, so you only need to dry them for a while indoors. Separate thick clothes so that the drying process is more effective.

If there is no sunlight, the last way you can do this is to dry clothes using the help of other electronic devices such as drying under air conditioning, fans, uhumidifier, or hair dryers. If it's dry, immediately mix clothes and don't build them up. Clothes that just pile up can cause a bad smell.

If you can't go outside the house, choose a room that has good ventilation or air circulation. Install a fan led to clothes to help with the drying process. In addition, you can also dry it in a room that has adequate lighting or lighting.
