Everyone knows that close fitting clothes should be often exposed to the sun, but it may not be clear that bedding also needs to be often exposed to the sun. Experts said that beddings stored or being used for a long time are easy to breed mites. Even the clean quilt that has been washed will have mites as long as it has not been exposed to the sun for more than three months. Therefore, quilts, mattresses, cushions and other items need to be often “exposed to the sun”.
there are benefits and health Health
Older people have the saying that “drying their winter quilts in the dog days will ensure that they will not get sick in a year”. Therefore, every summer, we can see many older people taking out their winter clothes and quilts to dry. Many young people either lack life experience or are lazy. They always think that the clothes and quilts put in the wardrobe after washing last year are still clean, even if they are used directly, there is no problem, so they take them out of the wardrobe and wear them directly on their bodies. In fact, the clothes that have been placed in the wardrobe for a whole winter are likely to breed a large number of mites, and the clothes in summer are basically worn close to the body. If you wear them directly without washing, it is easy to be infected with mites. Especially for people who have some skin diseases, they should change their clothes frequently every day and dry them in the sun, which is conducive to eliminating the germs on the clothes and speeding up the recovery of the disease.
Health experts point out that sunlight is a natural disinfectant, and ultraviolet rays can kill mites, bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms. The best time to dry the clothes is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., especially from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., when the UV effect is the strongest. The drying time of clothes does not need to be too long, generally 3 hours can play a role. In addition, windows should be opened frequently to keep indoor ventilation, light transmission and dryness.
dry clothes skillfully to prolong life
For clothes, scientific use and reasonable storage can prolong their life. Clothes that may not be worn for a long time should be stored separately, such as wool and chemical fiber clothes. After washing and ironing the woolen clothes, hang them in the wardrobe with a hanger. At the same time, put some camphor balls or sanitary balls in the pockets and at the bottom of the wardrobe. It is best to wrap them with paper or cloth to avoid polluting the clothes. Clothes made of chemical fiber or other materials can be hung and placed separately, but the wardrobe or trunk cover should be opened frequently to ventilate and keep the clothes dry. Special attention should be paid to the fact that in plum rain season or wet weather, clothes should be taken out to dry while the weather is clear, but not in the sun. It is better to keep a proper distance between the suitcase and the ground and wall to prevent moisture.
Many people hang their clothes directly in the sun after washing them. Although this behavior will be beneficial from the perspective of health, it may damage the normal life of clothes. In fact, the skill of drying clothes may seem simple, but it is also a knowledge:
1. Anti wrinkle method for clothes drying: it is better to take out the clothes to dry immediately after they are dehydrated in the washing machine, because the clothes are easy to fade and wrinkle if they are left in the dehydrating machine for too long. Secondly, after the clothes are taken out of the dehydrator, they should be shaken a few times immediately to prevent wrinkles. In addition, after the shirts, blouses and bedsheets are dried, stretching and tapping can also help prevent wrinkles.
2. Drying method of chemical fiber clothes: after washing, the chemical fiber clothes can be directly hung on the clothes rack, so that they can be naturally dehydrated and dried in the shade. In this way, it is neither wrinkled nor clean.
3. Clothes should be protected from direct sunlight: they can dry clothes and make them last for a long time. In particular, many clothes such as wool, silk and nylon often turn yellow after being exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, such clothes should be dried in the shade of trees. For white wool fabrics, it is best to dry them in the shade.
4. Drying method of sweaters: after washing and dehydration, sweaters can be placed on a net or curtain for flattening and shaping. When they are slightly dry, they can be hung on a hanger and dried in a ventilated and cool place. In addition, before drying the fine sweater, it is best to roll a layer of towel or bath towel on the hanger to prevent deformation.
