Seasonal Laundry Tips for Kolkata Residents

Monsoon (July to September)

Waterproof Storage:

To avoid moisture damage, use waterproof coverings or bags while storing clothing. At Laugh-O-Laundry, we prevent direct contact with damp surfaces by storing garments on hooks or shelves rather than on the floor. Keeping garments odor-free during the monsoon requires frequent maintenance. Wash your clothes more frequently to keep perspiration and moisture from collecting in. Use an antibacterial fabric conditioner to get rid of bacteria as a result of bad odors.

Fabric Protection:

Choose quick-drying fabrics, such as synthetics, or moisture-wicking textiles that resist mold and mildew. Fabric protection will enhance the sustainability of the clothes. We at Laugh-O-Laundry use a water-repellent spray to assist avoid water absorption.

Drying:

To prevent mildew, dry garments rapidly in a well-ventilated place. To manage humidity, we utilize dehumidifiers or air conditioners. To avoid moisture and mildew, do not dry items outside in high humidity. Drying garments might be difficult with continual rain and a lack of sunshine. Install a residential drying rack in an adequately conditioned place, ideally near a fan or a window. Use the spin cycle on your washing machine to eliminate surplus water and speed up the drying process. Prints and cotton materials, in particular, require ample space to air out and remain fresh. On bright days, use natural sunshine to clean and refresh your clothing. Ironing can also help destroy any mold germs that may have grown.

Cleaning:

To avoid filth and grime build-up, wash your garments on a regular basis. Choose detergents with antibacterial characteristics. Laugh-O-Laundry dry-cleans or hand-washes delicate goods to guarantee they are thoroughly cleaned. To absorb excessive water content, insert silica gel packets in your clothes and drawers.

Mold and Mildew Prevention:

Inspect objects for mold on a regular basis and handle any concerns as soon as possible by cleaning them with vinegar or baking soda. Proper clothing storage can help reduce mold and mildew growth. To encourage ventilation and minimize moisture buildup, replace plastic storage bags with breathable cotton or linen bags. Patterns and delicate cotton textiles will reap advantages from being stored in these airy bags, keeping them fresh and vibrant.  Laugh-O-Laundry uses anti-mould sprays and keeps garments in a dry, well-ventilated area.
