The major household concern of any family during rainy seasons is that of drying wet clothes and I’m sure we all will agree to it. While we all prefer to dry our clothes inside our houses, rainy season is a time, when drying clothes inside takes a back seat and outside is something close to impossible.

The scene of the entire home filled with wet clothes waiting to dry is not beneficial for your health. Wet clothes, with the lack of percolating sunshine increases the humidity of the air in the house and this humidity is a perfect ground for molds, fungus and other microbes to flourish. This moisture laden indoor air, clubbed with microbes are a result of many upper respiratory tract infections as sinusitis, allergies, pneumonia (in Infants and young kids). As during rainy season temperature fluctuates, it results in decreased immunities, more so in Infants and young children.

If you are washing clothes in washing machine, run the draining cycle twice or thrice before putting them on drying stand. If you are washing from hands, then allow excess water to drip first in the bathroom, before putting them on clothes stand.
