Why you can not dry wet sheets in the room

In the warm season, we try to dry laundry in the fresh air. So, in the summer, all things dry in a few hours, and in the heating period you have to dry clothes on radiators and dryers. There are pros and cons to this. In general, drying things at home is a necessary measure. In winter things do not dry out, and sometimes in summer there is nowhere to dry them, except in the room.



Previously, no one thought about where to dry things. Washing was hung over gas stoves, in the bathroom and in the room. The main thing is that the underwear is clean. In connection with recent research, British scientists warn us against drying things indoors. Someone will say that things dry faster, and the humidity in the room increases, because often in the heating season we suffer from dry air.



According to sanitary standards, the humidity in the room should not exceed 60% in summer and 45% in winter. If air humidity is higher, there is a risk of fungal microorganisms spreading, excessive dampness in the room, which is a favorable environment for them and unfavorable for us.



In addition, most of us use washing powders and rinses for laundry, which are not completely washed out of the fabric. As a result of drying things in the room, the smell of powder and residues of chemicals spread in the air. Chemistry irritates the airways and can cause an allergic reaction. Microparticles of powder enter through the mouth and nose into the body of a person and his pet. Against this background, dermatitis can develop.



Mold can develop in the washing machine with improper care of equipment. It all ends up on laundry. When it dries in the room, a characteristic smell of dampness may appear. Sometimes things can smell like a floor cloth, despite the fact that you put a full tray of washing powder in the machine. All this trouble is flying around the room around the clock. Therefore, if it is not possible to dry things in the fresh air, it is important to choose the right place for this.



The bedroom is not suitable for a number of the above reasons, smells mix in the kitchen, and it is not safe if things are dried over a gas stove, in the bathroom is damp. In a small apartment you can dry things on the balcony. Even if there's not enough room. The balcony is ideal because it is well ventilated, there you can install a suspended dryer, which does not take up much space.



In the cold season, it is better to dry things on the dryer behind the balcony and dry them indoors. I have a warm floor on my balcony at home, so things dry quickly even in winter. For the same purpose, electric dryers were invented long ago. If it is not possible to transfer laundry from the room to another place, consider using baby powder for laundry. Suitable natural environmental products such as household soap, which will not harm health with constant inhalation of detergents. Do not forget to ventilate the room every day and iron things with an iron. Where do you dry your laundry?
