Overview
- Nicola Barker of Suit Direct advises adding half a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to prevent musty smells when air-drying.
- The vinegar scent does not linger, with the odour dissipating naturally as clothes dry.
- Clothes should be spaced out on a drying rack to avoid overcrowding, which slows drying and increases the risk of mustiness.
- Positioning a clothes horse near a dehumidifier helps draw excess moisture from the air and tackles lingering damp smells.
- Partially damp garments should not be stored, and clothes should not be dried on radiators due to increased indoor moisture and mould risk.
