Do clothes get fungus in the rain? Keep your clothes safe with these methods
As relaxing as the monsoon season is, the same caution has to be taken in this season - especially regarding clothes.
Fungus in clothes due to moisture is a common problem. But with some easy home remedies, you can prevent it and keep your clothes safe for a long time. Let's know easy home remedies to protect clothes from fungus in monsoon
Don't forget to dry in the sun
Whenever the weather is clear, dry your clothes thoroughly in the sun. Sunlight not only dries clothes, but also kills the bacteria and fungus present in them.
Keep clothes completely dry (Monsoon Clothing Care Tips)
Never keep wet or damp clothes in the cupboard. First dry them completely, then fold them. Fungus grows quickly due to moisture.
Use neem leaves or camphor
Neem has antifungal properties. Keeping dried neem leaves or camphor between clothes reduces moisture and prevents mildew.
Use silica gel packets (Monsoon Clothing Care Tips)
Do not throw away silica gel packets found in old shoes or bags. Keep them in the cupboard or laundry basket - they absorb moisture and prevent fungus.
Wash with vinegar and baking soda
If fungus has infected any clothes, soak them in lukewarm water with vinegar and baking soda for 30 minutes. Then wash them - this will clean the clothes and also remove the smell.
Maintain air flow in wooden cupboards (Monsoon Clothing Care Tips)
Open the cupboard from time to time, so that there is a flow of air in it. If possible, keep a small deodorizer or dehumidifier in the cupboard, which reduces moisture and keeps fungus away.
