Where is the fastest place to dry clothes indoors? Experts Reveal "Windowside Is Not the Best Solution": The Key to Effective Dehumidification and Deodorization

Many people often find it difficult to dry clothes and always have a stuffy smell when drying clothes indoors. Japanese home cleaning consultant Naomi reminds that the problem is often not the detergent or the weather, but "choosing the place to dry". As long as you master air flow and humidity management, indoor clothes drying can become faster, cooler, and even more hygienic.

Different indoor spaces have very different drying speeds

Living rooms, dressing rooms, bedrooms, etc. Each family chooses a different space for drying clothes. However, the moisture circulation and air flow in different rooms are different, so even if the clothes are dried indoors, the drying speed of the clothes will be different.

For example, although the living room is large, family members move around frequently, which makes it easier for moisture to stay; although the temperature in the dressing room is high, if the ventilation fan is not powerful enough, the humidity will not be discharged.

Expert advice: Master the "wind channel"

The key to affecting drying efficiency is the air flow and temperature difference. Allowing the air to flow upward from the bottom of the clothes can greatly increase the drying speed.

Place a circulating fan or electric fan indoors and pay attention to the direction of the wind, which can significantly improve the situation. In addition, allowing air to circulate continuously will also prevent moisture from being trapped in the corners of the room.

If "the clothes below are particularly difficult to dry" or "only one side is damp", it is usually because the flow of wind is blocked. Improving air passages can also suppress odors at the same time. Reducing humidity reduces bacterial growth and keeps clothes looking cleaner after washing.

Height from the ground is actually very critical

Many families tend to ignore the "distance from the floor". The closer to the floor and corners, the harder it is for air to flow, so the drying speed will slow down. Especially in winter, cold air tends to accumulate on the ground, making it harder for moisture to escape.

Hang the clothes slightly higher or place a dehumidifier below to absorb moisture, which can improve drying efficiency. It’s also important to use indoor clothes drying racks or height-adjustable hanging rods while keeping clothes spaced between them.

In a humid indoor environment, no matter what detergent is used, odors will remain. "Drying quickly" is the first step to maintaining cleanliness. Just changing the position can significantly change the drying time and odor.

3 Tips to Dry Clothes Quickly

・Instead of hanging them by the window, it is better to be closer to the air conditioner or electric fan

・Leave at least "a fist distance" between clothes

・When drying clothes at night, use a dehumidifier to drain out the moisture
