In the evening, we often hang out the laundry. Quick, practical, economical… on the surface. You think you’re saving time, but you could lose comfort, freshness, and even destr0y your clothes in the long run. In this article, we’ll share the reason why you should never hang your washing out in the evening.
A practical habit… but a tricky one
Once night comes, drying conditions are no longer optimal: the air is more humid, the temperature drops, and above all, natural light goes. It’s similar to dry your hair in a bathroom with no windows and no hairdryer: the drying time is very long and the feeling of humidity is unpleasant .
Nighttime humidity: an unseen trap for laundry
Damp laundry hung overnight has trouble with releasing its moisture. The humidity, blended with the lack of natural ventilation, slows down the drying process. As a result, instead of refreshing, the laundry retains a musty smell.
Clothes become bumpy, lose their elasticity, and in some cases, can even boost mold that’s invisible to the naked eye .
The right time to hang out your laundry
The best solution? Hang your laundry out to dry during the day, ideally in the morning or early afternoon. Because the natural warmth of the air, even without direct sunlight,
quickens drying. The air spreads better, moisture vanishes faster, and your laundry regains that much-desired softness and freshness.
What if you can’t extend during the day?
Not everyone has the perfect of a garden, a balcony, or a flexible schedule. In this case, a good tumble dryer can e your solution. It recreates ideal drying conditions while maintaning the quality of the fibers.
For those who tend to avoid the dryer, buying in a dehumidifier or fan can also enhance indoor drying without having to wait until the next day.
