Why you can not dry washed clothes in the apartment

What modern technology can help in drying clothes?

In the age of advanced technology, drying things on the balcony or in the bathroom is somehow wrong. That is why a special dryer was created. This technique is an excellent replacement for a balcony, all the hostess needs is to put things in the dryer. Then the technique will do everything by itself, under the influence of warm air, which will blow things inside, the laundry will dry in a matter of minutes.

The only disadvantage of the dryer is that it is quite expensive and not every housewife can buy it.But in addition to the high price, it also spends a large amount of electricity and takes up a lot of space. You can simplify the task of drying things by installing a heated towel rail in the bathroom. You can dry small laundry on it, but you still have to put the rest of the washed things that need to be dried somewhere.

Aspergillus fungus

Excessively moistened air creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of aspergillus (aspergillus) - a genus of higher aerobic (that is, requiring oxygen) mold fungi. There are hundreds of varieties of it, but in homes it is more common in the form of yellow-green mold or mold in the form of a white fluff with a black or gray center.

The fungus is especially partial to:

• leaking batteries in old houses;
• heating pipes hidden in the walls;
• rooms with poor ventilation.

There are several hundred species of the mold Aspergillus.

What is the danger

In case of violations in the functioning of body systems, too humid air can lead to serious consequences. Drying wet laundry in an apartment is especially dangerous for those who have a history of:

• lung diseases (the spores released by the mold for reproduction are a powerful allergen that can cause attacks of coughing, runny nose and even asthma);
• allergies (in addition to the above complications, the laundry during the drying process evaporates the remnants of detergent and air conditioner - impurities that can also cause allergies);
• weakened immunity caused by chronic oncological diseases, as well as AIDS (such patients may develop aspergillosis, a disease that affects the oral cavity, respiratory organs, nervous system and can lead to death).

People with strong immune systems can be carriers of aspergillosis.In other words, the mold colonizes on them, provoking the appearance of aspergilloma - a fungus in the form of a pea, located on the surface of the mucosa. Aspergilloma is removed promptly.

Mold spores are dangerous for children, especially newborns, who have not yet developed immunity.

Weak immunity makes a person vulnerable to aspergillosis

Symptoms of spore infestation

There is a whole range of signs that can be used to suggest that a person is infected with aspergillus.

1. Runny nose.
2. Heat.
3. Shortness of breath, chest pain.
4. Perpetual fatigue.
5. Cut in the eyes.
6. Persistent cough, sometimes with blood clots.
7. Sore throat.
8. Migraine.
9. Nausea.
10. Skin irritation.

The final diagnosis, after a thorough history and analysis, can only be made by a specialist of a suitable profile: pulmonologist, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist or mycologist (a doctor who treats skin diseases caused by yeast or mold fungi).

Air-drying clothes not only gives clothes a unique freshness, but also does not adversely affect the level of humidity in the house.

What is the danger of wet laundry indoors?

Although many housewives prefer to dry clothes inside the apartment during the cold season, this is not entirely safe. By hanging wet clothes around the house, you make the air inside too humid. This has a negative effect on the health of people prone to asthma, seasonal allergies and other diseases.

In addition, drying laundry indoors is closely linked to high concentrations of dust mites, mold and mildew in the air. Unfortunately, few people know about this, as well as about the need for thorough ventilation of the room.

Moist laundry, insufficient ventilation of the room, poor indoor air quality - all this together creates a serious threat to health. And the use of air conditioners and fabric softeners exacerbates the picture even more, since, as the laundry dries, it releases a dangerous “cocktail” of chemicals. Some of them can be carcinogenic and even cause cancer.

Silk

ben bryant /

How to wash

Natural silk is a capricious fabric, so it is better to wash such clothes by hand. Forget about bleaches and harsh stain removers, they can ruin things. For washing, use special gels for delicate fabrics or regular shampoo.

Silk is suitable for water temperatures up to 40 ° C. Soak clothes for a maximum of 15 minutes and wash gently, do not rub or stretch the fabric. Rinse your clothes thoroughly so that there are no streaks on them after drying. You need to rinse several times, gradually lowering the temperature of the water.

How to dry

Silk cannot be twisted: wet fabric is easily damaged. Gently wring out, let the water drain, and then dry the item with a terry towel (like wool).

It is better to dry silk clothes in a horizontal position. You can use clothes dryer or a rope, but then you should put a layer of dense fabric under things (at least the same terry towel). Clothespins are banned, they will leave traces.

Iron silk garments on the lowest temperature inside out.It is not worth steaming or spraying it with water: stains and stains will appear. To get rid of them, you have to wash and dry the thing again. When ironing the product, let it cool down, otherwise wrinkles will appear again.

Rules for different kinds of things

Each type of clothing has its own drying rules.

Bedding

The place for drying bed linen can be chosen depending on the season and personal preferences. In the summer, for these purposes, you can use the area near the house (if the house is private) or a balcony (if it is an apartment building). You can also dry it indoors, but it must be well ventilated.

When hanging bed linen on the ropes, you need to straighten it along its entire length, without folding it in half or four.

There are several ways to make the drying process easier:

1. The dryer is a compact device that can be installed in the bathroom or kitchen.
2. Washing machine with drying function.
3. Floor dryer. Compact and stable, it can be temporarily placed in any room of the apartment, and after drying it is removed to the dressing room or corridor.
4. Ceiling dryer with mechanical control or remote control. This functional device can be a harmonious addition to the interior of a bathroom or balcony.
5. "Intelligent" dryer. Can be both wall and ceiling. Controlled remotely with a remote control. Its functions include folding and unfolding, adjusting a comfortable height, as well as blowing warm air on the laundry for faster drying. The disadvantage of this ergonomic design is the high price.

When drying bed linen, you need to follow the recommendations that will extend its life:

• keep silk products away from heating devices;
• cotton should not be dried until completely dry to facilitate ironing;
• linen in dark and colored colors should not be dried in direct sunlight.

Underwear

Drying underwear on the street is possible only when living outside the city, where there is always clean fresh air. In a metropolis with an abundance of exhaust gases, it is best to dry these delicate clothes that come into contact with the surface of the body in an apartment.

There are several rules:

1. The room in which underwear is dried should be well ventilated and protected from direct sunlight.
2. Silk and viscose products should be dried away from heat sources.
3. Linen made of cotton material can be hung on a rope, having previously shaken off and straightened.
4. It is recommended to dry silk and synthetic products unfolded on a thick terry towel.
5. Bras are recommended to dry on a horizontal surface. First you need to straighten the cups so that they retain the correct shape.

Shirts and blouses

Shirts and blouses, regardless of the sewing material, can be dried on a coat hanger or hung by the hem to a rope.

If there are no free hangers or clothespins left, you should hang the product on a rope at armpit level - so that there are no noticeable creases.

Pantyhose and stockings

Pantyhose and stockings made of elastic materials must be squeezed through a piece of fabric without twisting, straightened and hung by the toes.

T-shirts

It is wrong to hang knitted T-shirts on a rope by the bottom edge. This leads to deformation of the product - it eventually takes the form of a trapezoid.

Drying is recommended in one of two ways:

1. Throw the top of the T-shirt over the rope at the level of the armpits and fix it with clothespins at the seams of the sleeves. A wet product will not stretch and retain its shape.
2. Use a wide hanger - this will avoid traces of clothespins.

Outerwear

Outerwear made of dense fabrics must be dried by hanging evenly on a coat hanger. Before doing this, blot excess moisture with a clean cloth. During drying, the sleeves of the product should be stuffed with crumpled paper.

Natural ways to dry outside

Weather conditions in most cases can be called upon to help with quick drying of clothes. The only exception is rainy weather or heavy fog: high humidity will not let clothes dry, on the contrary, the fabric will absorb moisture even more.

It is best to dry clothes outside:

• in the wind - clothes hung on a rope will dry quickly enough, after 1-2 hours the clothes will be dry;
• in the sun - before hanging things, it is better to turn them inside out to avoid fading of fabrics; under the rays of the sun, drying will not take more than an hour;
• in the cold - oddly enough, but the frost also copes with the task of drying clothes, you need to wait until the hung clothes "grab", and then bring it into a warm room, depending on the strength of the frost, the process will take 4-6 hours.

  In frosty weather, air humidity is low, so the water from the clothes partially evaporates, and the rest sublimates (turns into ice) and also evaporates, only a little slower

I really like to dry my clothes in the cold, and in winter I never leave it on the dryer, but always take it out to the street (fortunately I live in a private house).In addition to the fact that it really dries quickly, it also acquires an extraordinary freshness, which lasts for a long time even after ironing.

Balcony or loggia for drying clothes

An ideal place to dry clothes is a balcony or loggia. In the fresh air, the laundry not only dries well, but also acquires freshness. How well do we know all the unique feeling of freshness from the dried things brought into the apartment on a sunny frosty day?

Drying clothes outdoors is not only useful, but also beneficial. The sun's rays dry the fabric faster, and if it is white bed linen, then its color acquires an additional rich shade. Colored linen, on the contrary, can fade in the sun, so when drying it is turned inside out or hung out in shaded places.

In the off-season, you can dry clothes on the balcony by installing an additional high spin function in the automatic machine. Then, taking out the semi-dry laundry, you can quickly dry it in a natural way.

There are a number of devices for drying clothes on the balcony:

• An old, proven, economical and affordable way is a clothesline stretched between balcony structures or on metal profiles placed outside the balcony;
• The method is good because the linen does not take up space on the useful area of ​​​​the balcony, however, it is not very convenient to reach the far ropes when hanging. In addition, the wind can “whip” linen against the walls of the house, and dust and fumes from passing cars settle on freshly washed things;
• Drying clothes on the balcony can also be carried out using a collapsible modern design - a floor dryer.Some models when unfolded are quite roomy, and when assembled they perfectly fit under the wall, freeing up space for passage;
• Another modern option for drying clothes in the winter on the loggia is hanging dryers. Fasteners are installed on opposite walls of the loggia at the required convenient height. Modern versions of such structures are inertial systems that unwind the required footage only if necessary, and the rope itself clings to hooks mounted on the opposite wall.

The only disadvantage of tension structures is that over time, under the weight of wet linen, the ropes lose their elasticity and begin to sag, requiring replacement.

Ways to solve the problem

If you do not have the opportunity to dry clothes on the street, then there are several ways out of this situation. The first way is to dry clothes in poorly ventilated, practically isolated rooms (an excellent option for owners of living space where there is an empty room, a glazed balcony or loggia). An alternative would be to buy a small tarp that can be hung over the window so that the laundry does not get wet in the rain and does not fade in the sun.

The second way is to organize an impromptu dryer under the window with ropes. This option is relevant for people living on the lower floors and in sunny regions. If none of the options suits you, then the only right decision would be to buy a special folding dryer. It is necessary to install such a structure in a well-ventilated area (a bathroom or bedroom will not work).If the house has a fenced area, then backyards or roofs of high-rise buildings can be used for drying laundry.

How to use a hair dryer

When the house is cold, we turn on the heater, at the same time hanging the washed clothes around it. Heat evaporates moisture, clothes dry, everyone is happy. A hair dryer is an emergency way to supply heat under pressure. For a quick effect, a jacket, sweater or jeans are laid out on the back of a chair, the folds are carefully straightened so that creases do not form, and the device is turned on. We blow hot air from all sides, and in about half an hour even clothes made of heavy fabric will dry! What to say about the notorious synthetic socks? Footage of a sock stretched on a hair styling unit went around the Internet

This is really a way of drying for the lazy and not so, and if you don’t feel sorry for a pair of socks, then you should be careful with other things.

Denim

Tomo Jesenicnik /

How to wash

The jeans are machine washable up to 40°C. So that they do not shed, it is better to use a liquid product for colored things. Spinning can be set to 600 rpm, and even 800 rpm is suitable for thick fabrics.

If the jeans are frankly dirty, soak them for half an hour in warm water with the addition of a special agent before washing. Gently rub the stained areas and send to the machine. Leaving jeans in a basin of water for the whole day is not worth it: there is a risk that the fabric will shed, and rust will appear on the accessories.

Before you put the item in the machine, close the zipper and button, turn it inside out and make sure that there is nothing in the pockets. New jeans may shed at first, so wash them separately from other items.

How to dry

It is better to dry jeans vertically, hanging them by the belt. Straighten them beforehand so that there are no obvious creases. Denim is not particularly demanding, so you can send such things to the dryer.

If the pants are too short, there is a way that allows you to slightly increase their length. Step on the bottom edge of the wet jeans, take the belt in your hands and gently pull it up. Repeat the procedure a couple of times, and then hang the item to dry.

Tight pants after washing can not be ironed at all, they will perfectly straighten out on the body. Straight and flared models are best ironed inside out on a setting suitable for cotton.

What is the danger of wet laundry?

In the cold season, many housewives prefer to dry clothes inside the apartment, not realizing how dangerous it can be. By hanging wet clothes and other textiles in the house, housewives unnecessarily humidify the air. This has a bad effect on human health, leads to allergies, asthmatic attacks (if a person is prone to asthma) and other diseases.

In addition, excessive moisture caused by drying clothes inside living spaces can provoke the appearance of mites, which are suitable for such a microclimate. Excess moisture is a direct path to the formation of mold. To avoid all this, it is necessary to organize an ideal ventilation system in the apartment and often ventilate the premises. The humidity of washed clothes, poor ventilation of rooms, poor air quality - all this threatens with serious health problems.

Not to iron

To keep clothes even and smooth after washing without using an iron, you should use the following tips:

1. Do not load the washing machine to the maximum. Reduce the automatic spin speed.
2. Before hanging, carefully shake and straighten the clothes so that there are no wrinkles or creases on the fabric.
3. Wise use of home appliances. Overdrying should not be allowed, as the fabric will retain large and small folds for a long time.
4. Avoid strong hand pressure.
5. Properly fold and store washed items. Hang suits, long dresses and skirts on coat hangers in the spacious closet compartment. Do the same with other types of clothing made from wrinkled materials.

   T-shirts and sweaters made of knitted fabric, as well as towels and bed linen, roll up into neat rolls and put on shelves in a closet or chest of drawers.

How to dry if there is no balcony

If it is not possible to dry the laundry, except inside the apartment, several steps must be taken:

• If your textiles allow, select the maximum rotation in the washing machine. Less damp, it will dry faster.
• Place the clothes dryer next to an open window or in a corner where there is constant air circulation.
• Hang your linen methodically so that it breathes as much as possible.
• An electric dryer will provide a positive service - it will allow you to dry clothes faster and will not increase the degree of humidity at home.
• Try to change the position of the laundry more often and remove already dry clothes from the hanger.
• If there are small children in the house, do not dry clothes in the room where they are. This can be detrimental to the health of babies.

To prevent mold from forming inside the apartment, make sure the house is well ventilated. Ventilate your home every day for 15 minutes, and try not to dry your laundry in the apartment.

Aspergillus fungus

Excessively moistened air creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of aspergillus (aspergillus) - a genus of higher aerobic (that is, requiring oxygen) mold fungi. There are hundreds of varieties of it, but in homes it is more common in the form of yellow-green mold or mold in the form of a white fluff with a black or gray center.

The fungus is especially partial to:

• leaking batteries in old houses,
• heating pipes buried in the walls,
• rooms with poor ventilation.

What is the danger

In case of violations in the functioning of body systems, too humid air can lead to serious consequences. Drying wet laundry in an apartment is especially dangerous for those who have a history of:

• lung diseases (the spores released by the mold for reproduction is a powerful allergen that can cause attacks of coughing, runny nose and even asthma),

• weakened immunity caused by chronic oncological diseases, as well as AIDS (such patients may develop aspergillosis, a disease that affects the oral cavity, respiratory organs, nervous system and can lead to death).

Mold spores are dangerous for children, especially newborns, who have not yet developed immunity.

Symptoms of spore infestation

There is a whole range of signs that can be used to suggest that a person is infected with aspergillus.

1. Runny nose.
2. Heat.
3. Shortness of breath, chest pain.
4. Perpetual fatigue.
5. Cut in the eyes.
6. Persistent cough, sometimes with blood clots.
7. Sore throat.
8. Migraine.
9. Nausea.
10. Skin irritation.

The final diagnosis, after a thorough history and analysis, can only be made by a specialist of a suitable profile: pulmonologist, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist or mycologist (a doctor who treats skin diseases caused by yeast or mold fungi).
