From smelly clothes to stains that refuse to leave, the rainy season can make us all worried about how we can best care for our clothes, keeping them fresh and clean always. Here are some easy tips that will make sure you know how to do just that!
Wash Immediately
Be it stained clothes or drenched ones, make sure you immediately wash your dirty clothes in the monsoon. This will ensure the stains don’t seep in and will keep any fungi and bacteria at bay. If you can’t immediately wash your clothes, try to keep them soaked in water, mixing some detergent or disinfectant.
Drying Rules
Always make sure you let your clothes completely dry. Try not to ignore that small undried patch. This will make sure your clothes don’t smell funny once they’re stored in a wardrobe or any closed space.
Add Anti-Moisture
Use things that prevent moisture. This can start with the use of baking soda in your laundry load- acting as a natural disinfectant and keeping smells away. When it comes to storage, try using camphor or naphthalene balls to keep moisture or insects away.
Ironing Ideas
Ironing your clothes can help keep that cold or wet feeling away from your washed clothes. Not only will this help give your clothes a fresh look, but this will also help drive away any moisture from clothes.
Clean The Machine
Given the kind of dirt, must and monsoon gunk your washing machine might be going through, it’s super essential to regularly clean your machine to ensure any of that doesn’t get on your fresh clothes.
