What should I do if I forget to dry my laundry?
Hello. This is Linenna Editorial Department. ``Linenna's Household Laundry'' is a 4-panel comic based on laundry-related episodes from everyone that happily tells about daily laundry troubles and incidents. We will also tell you how to solve laundry problems and ways to improve them. Even if you sometimes make mistakes that make you want to hold your eyes, let's all laugh and flush them away with the washing water so that we can wash our clothes in good condition tomorrow.
Don't just hang out the laundry you forgot to dry!
This mistake was the most common among the stories we received about laundry concerns. Everyone has had the experience of accidentally forgetting to dry clothes once or twice. After the washing machine finished spinning, I realized that it had been an hour. No, one hour is still better. Some people may have let it sit for about half a day. (Actually, this has happened to me many times.) The worst thing you can do in such a situation is to just let it dry as if nothing happened. This is absolutely no good. The laundry is clean after the washing machine finishes spinning, right? That's right? It's really beautiful, isn't it? (← Stubborn) The answer is NO! At first glance, your laundry may look very clean, but in reality, even after washing, it is not possible to remove 100% of the dirt.
The bad smell of laundry that has been left out to dry is caused by a bacteria called Moraxella.
Even the washed laundry still contains small amounts of bacteria. If you leave washed laundry unattended, bacteria will grow on it! ! At that time, you may not notice it because of the scent of the detergent or fabric softener, but you may notice a faint smell of half-drying during the drying stage. That unpleasant, half-dried odor is actually the odor of bacteria called Moraxella bacteria. There is no problem if you dry it immediately, but this bacteria loves humidity and temperature . If you leave it in the washing machine without taking it out, it may cause mold to grow on the back of the washing machine . I just forgot, but I can't believe it happened...
What is the time limit if I forget to hang the laundry?
Even if you forget to dry the laundry, the situation varies depending on the time.
Sometimes I notice it within a few hours, and sometimes I only notice it after standing overnight.
When you realize that you forgot to dry your clothes, how long is it okay to dry it, and how long should you wash it again?
If you forgot to dry your laundry, it is safe to hang it out to dry for about 1 hour in the summer and about 2 hours in the winter.
Bacteria, mold, and Moraxella bacteria that cause odors tend to multiply when the temperature is 20 to 30 degrees and the humidity is over 60%.
Conditions vary depending on the season, as the temperature differs between summer and winter, and the time it takes for odor-causing bacteria, mold, and moraxella to develop varies.
However, the standard time varies depending on the weather and the model of washing machine you are using.
Instead of thinking in a uniform way about how long it will be okay, be flexible and make decisions based on the situation that day and the condition of the laundry.
