Laundry Tips for the Rainy Season

Doing laundry can be very tricky with rainfall becoming increasingly unpredictable. Nothing is more frustrating than washing piles of clothes only for them to turn out damp and smelly because of the gloomy weather. To keep your newly washed garments clean, fresh and vibrant this rainy season, follow these laundry tips from Electrolux Philippines.

1) Use dryers to avoid accumulating moisture

Sun dried clothes smell best but when the rains are here, the clothes smell musty because the moisture is trapped in the clothes. What’s worse is that the when worn, these kulob clothes smell nasty too, like you’ve got body odor. Ugh!

The best solution is to invest in a dryer. The Electrolux UltimateCare Washer Dryer delivers excellent results in keeping your clothes perfectly dry. It has Smart Sensor feature, which also prevents harmful over-drying. Moreover, it’s a 2-in-1 machine that can also wash your clothes efficiently. It’s a great choice for those looking to buy a dryer without needing to worry about extra space in the house.

 

2) Combat stains while protecting color

If clothes become stained with mud and dirt from the rain, here is what you should do:

  • wipe them away before they set
  • For older stains, vinegar or baking soda have often been recommended as tried and tested ways of cleaning them.

Some stains, however, are harder to remove, which may lead to using excessive detergent, over-washing and color-fading. This is where the Electrolux UltimateCare Washing Machines effectively removes stains while keeping your clothes vibrant.

  • UltraMix Technology in Electrolux washing machines fully dissolve detergent to deliver a deeper clean.
  • Load Sensor Automation feature which displays the recommended amount of detergent based on the weight of your clothes, helping you get the most out of each load while avoiding overloading and over-washing.

 

3) Add fabric conditioner

Adding fabric conditioner to your wash is a good way to combat these problems:

  • breaking down and losing the clothes textures due to the rains.
  • earthy scent of wet soil that can stick to clothing.
  • damp conditions create the ultimate breeding ground for bacteria on your clothes.

Fabric conditioners helps to soften and improve the texture of your clothing, while also keeping your clothes smelling great even through the rain. On top of that, some fabric conditioners also boast anti-bacterial properties, making sure that your clothes are fresh and germ-free. Personally, I add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to the wash.

 

4) Keep your washing machine clean

Washing machines are also breeding ground of residues of dirt, mold and mildew which build up and produce odors inside.

You can clean your washing machine by running a wash cycle with the machine empty. This clears out any detergent that has built up in the machine. Make sure to always wipe it inside and out for any residues that may have built up. It is also best to use a washing machine cover to protect it from heat, mold and moisture.

 

5) Place scented items or odor eliminators in your closet

 

Ensure that your clothes don’t develop a stale smell, try adding essential oils to your closet. Dab a few drops of the oil on cotton balls then place it in the corner of your closet. Do this especially during the rainy season.

 

Another alternatives you can use are the following:

  • coffee grounds.
  • scented dryer sheets
  • silica packets for shoes
  • baking soda
  • strongly scented wood.
