【Get 12% off on any 4 items】Laundry and Household Cleaning Essentials for Tackling Damp Weather!

As spring rolls in, so does the damp weather, especially here in Hong Kong. Dealing with high humidity can be a real headache, causing mould to creep up on walls and floors while making it a challenge to get our laundry fully dry and odor-free. If you're facing the same issues, don't worry! We're here to share some practical tips and a lineup of recommended laundry and cleaning supplies. With these goodies, you'll be able to prevent and tackle mould and unpleasant odors, ensuring your clothes and living space stay fresh and dry throughout the damp weather.

 

Tips to Prevent and Eliminate Musty Smells from Clothing:

 

  1. Choose Quick-Drying and Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

When shopping for clothes, go for fabrics that boast quick-drying capabilities, like polyester or nylon. These materials work efficiently in whisking away moisture, keeping your garments from lingering in a damp state. Also, consider cotton or fabrics with breathable weaves, as they absorb moisture and promote speedy evaporation, keeping your skin dry and minimizing unpleasant odors.

 

  1. Select Antibacterial and Deodorizing Laundry Essentials

Choosing the right laundry detergent and fabric softener can help prevent unpleasant odors after washing. Here are some recommended products:

 

Tide, being the top-selling laundry detergent in the US, has always been a popular choice, attracting people head north to bulk buying megastores. Tide x Downy Laundry Detergent offers Tide's powerful cleaning and freshness plus the color protection of Downy. With an improved formula that includes softening ingredients, adding a smooth layer of comfort to your clothes.

  1. Keep Clothes from Sticking Together

When drying your clothes, make sure to leave a gap of about 5 cm between each item. This allows air to circulate freely, helping your clothes dry faster while preventing moisture from congregating. It's also a good idea to flip your clothes inside out so that both sides get exposure to the air, preventing localized dampness and unpleasant odors from developing.

 

  1. Maintain a Dry Environment for Your Clothes

Using a dehumidifier can work wonders in reducing indoor humidity and keeping the air dry. When drying your clothes, try to do so in a dry environment with the dehumidifier running. Remember to close the windows to minimize the influx of outdoor humidity, and don't forget to regularly empty the water tank of your dehumidifier.

 

  1. Regularly Clean the Washing Machine

Over time, your washing machine's drum can accumulate dirt and detergent residue, which can affect the cleanliness of your clothes. By regularly cleaning the washing machine, you can prevent and eliminate odors from clothes, ensuring they stay fresh and clean.

Introducing you to the Dettol 5 in 1 Washing Machine Cleaner for removing 99.9 percent of bacteria accumulated in your washing machine. This formula will reach hidden areas of the machine which will stop bad odors, leaving a lasting freshness in the machine.

Cleaning Tips to Preventing Mould and Odors:

 

  1. Regularly Clean Your Living Space

Regularly cleaning your living space is key to preventing mould and odors. Use disinfectant cleaners or bleach and give those mold-prone areas like floors, walls, and bathrooms a good scrub.

    In addition to clothing, it is important to regularly check for any signs of mould or water damage on furniture and floors. Give your furniture a wipe-down with a clean cloth to keep them looking fresh. And when it comes to floors, choose a cleaning agent that has disinfecting and antibacterial properties to keep them dry and clean.
