Maintaining Crisp, Fresh Laundry Indoors

When winter creeps up on us all we lose some of the luxuries we take for granted of during the summer. One of these luxuries is being able to dry laundry outdoors on the washing line, with your cottons and linen basking in the sun and staying crisp and fresh.

But how do you maintain that sun-kissed feeling when drying laundry indoors? Read on to discover how to maintain fresh laundry indoors and how Mopheads can take the hassle out of doing it yourself.

Master the Art of Indoor Drying

When drying laundry indoors, choosing the right setup is essential to achieve fresh results. There are several ways to dry laundry well indoors, including:

• A heated airer: Unlike traditional drying racks and airers, heated options speed up the process while preventing dampness.
• Ventilation: Although it may sound counterproductive, opening windows will minimise musty smells and reduce excess moisture. If you don’t want to let any cold air in, setting up a dehumidifier has the same results.
• Space items evenly: Make sure to space laundry evenly on your airer to allow better airflow which helps clothing items dry thoroughly.

Smell Fresh as a Daisy

For that sun-dried aroma, incorporate fresh scents into your laundry routine. These can be in the form of fabric softeners, which can mimic the smell of outdoor drying, you can’t go wrong with lovely scented detergents!

These small touches can make your laundry smell as though it’s been dried in a summer breeze. Our domestic laundry services not only get your sheets, tops and trousers clean, but we also utilise a wide range of scent solutions to get them smelling lush.

Dig Out Your Quick-Dry Fabrics

Choosing certain fabrics to wear during the winter is another great way to get clothes drier quicker. Microfibre and synthetic blends typically dry faster than cotton, so planning your wash loads with these materials in mind can help you achieve fresher results more efficiently.

Make Use of Your Tumble Dryer

Not everyone has access to a tumble dryer, but if you do then make use of it! A tumble dryer can help maintain crisp laundry, even if you miss outdoor drying. There are a few good tips when using a tumble dryer to ensure moisture is kept at bay, including:

• Avoid overloading the machine to allow proper airflow and minimise creases.
• Finish the cycle with an additional quick spin to rid as much dampness as possible or finish the cycle with a short blast of cool air to mimic the lightness of line-dried clothing.
• Using a dryer sheet can also add fragrance and improve the softness of clothing, great for your comfort when you need dry clothes in a hurry.

Wash Smart

Winter is the perfect time to refresh your washing routine, and, when looking to maintain fresh and crisp items, familiarising yourself with the correct ways of washing is always a wise decision. Before hitting the start button, ensure you have set your wash cycle at the right temperature, regularly clean your washing machine to prevent mould buildup and avoid leaving your damp clothes in the machine for too long, as this can cause unpleasant smells.
