The temptation to dry clothes near the radiator in winter is unstoppable. It speeds up the process, true, but it is often a reason for excessive humidity that turns into condensation. Not only is this unhealthy, but it often also leads to a stuffy smell inside the room in which they are placed. But not all of us can take advantage of a balcony, a garden, a terrace or have a dryer, so let’s make necessity a virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how can we avoid encountering this unpleasant problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some tricks that can help us in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s find out how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To dry clothes near the radiator without increasing the humidity of the air, creating condensation and a closed smell, the first thing we must take into account is washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never forget to spin the cloths well, only then will the fabrics eliminate excess water and the resulting stagnant smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the cycle, we carefully choose the room in which to hang the clothes: it must be equipped with a window, to allow air recirculation. Don’t stack them on top of each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carefully place them well spaced, for example, use a little man for shirts or T-shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will speed up the process even more. Clothes must \u201cbreathe\u201d in some way to prevent water microparticles from fighting to disappear and turning into steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a dehumidifier, turn it on, it will counteract condensation effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If not, count on the help of salt: just place a container full of coarse salt under or near the radiator. It will act like a sponge and absorb condensation. When you notice that it starts to melt, replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a practically cost-free remedy, but really effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rice can also be useful for its well-known hygroscopic qualities, that is, its ability to absorb water. As in the previous case, you will simply have to place a bowl near the grill or radiator, it will magnetize the humidity and you will be able to say goodbye to the smell of being closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, if you also like to scent the room, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the container and the air will have a fresh and sweet fragrance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
