“Rain-wet cloth” must be rewashed or can be dried immediately.
When the rain falls, the clothes that are hung to dry outdoors get soaked. Many people have probably experienced the problem of “Do I need to wash my clothes again with rain water or can I just hang them to dry?” This question may seem simple, but in fact, there are many factors to consider.
The cloth got wet from the rain. Do I need to wash it again?
When it comes to the question of whether or not to wash clothes soaked in rainwater, people’s opinions always differ. Some people wash their clothes fresh every time they get home, while others are in the “it’s just water” group. They just wait for the clothes to dry again and then bring them in as usual. We would like to give you a clear answer, but unfortunately, it’s not that simple. It depends on many factors. It depends on how long the clothes have been out in the rain. On where you live, and ultimately, on how much you care about this issue.
Air quality and pollution
Apart from the problems caused by rain, air quality and pollution also affect wet clothes. Dust particles generated by certain activities can be annoying. They can stick to clothes that are hung to dry and on window sills, making them dirty. Dust particles can also irritate the eyes and affect the health of plants. And if there is dust in the air when it rains, it will definitely fall on the clothes you hang to dry. Rain pollution is real.
You are probably familiar with the activities that cause this. Road construction, wind-blown bare land and construction sites including housing developments, vehicles on unpaved roads. Mines and quarries, agricultural and forestry activities are all potential sources of particulate matter.
High levels of particulate matter can come from natural sources, such as dry waterways, plant pollen, and volcanic eruptions. There’s also pollution caused by burning trash, smoking, wood-burning fireplaces (although not typically used in the summer), landfill fires, and even traffic. If you live on or near a busy road, you’re probably familiar with the buildup of fine, black particles on the exterior of your home.
However, clotheslines are generally not located near the road. If your clothesline is located at the back of your house and your home is not adjacent to a highway, you probably won’t have to worry about particulate matter in a single afternoon.
Bacteria and musty odor
More likely, you may find that your laundry doesn’t feel as clean or smelling as fresh as it should. The longer your laundry stays damp and warm (or relatively warm), the greater the chance that bacteria and mold will grow, and the greater the chance that your laundry will smell.
This can happen within a couple of days, so if your washed clothes have been hanging on a clothesline for days in a damp state, you may want to re-wash them, or at least put them in the washing machine to rinse them with fresh water to freshen them up.
Drying clothes in the shade
If it’s raining while you’re doing your laundry and you don’t have a vented or condensation dryer or a modern mechanical ventilation system, drying your clothes indoors is not a good idea. Energywise recommends that you don’t dry your clothes indoors at all, as moisture can build up.
All the water in the wet laundry has to go somewhere. It evaporates into the air inside your home, causing very high humidity in your home, which in turn causes mold to grow on your windows, walls, and ceilings. Opening doors and windows to ventilate your home can help, but it won’t help much on a rainy day.
A dehumidifier will help reduce some moisture, but you’ll have to run it the entire time the คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย clothes are drying, which costs more to run than a dryer. So maybe the solution is to keep an eye on the weather forecast and maybe have a covered outdoor drying rack.
