Shanghai’s rainfall hit a new high this century. How to deal with this kind of weather?

2020 is a difficult year. After experiencing the epidemic, the whole of China has entered the rainy season. The excess rainfall in previous years has made it very difficult for some southern regions. The plum rain in Shanghai also hit a century high.

Meiyu is also known as moldy rain, which means that many things in the home are affected by the rainy weather. Including clothes, shoes, physical objects and even furniture, they may become moldy, and fungi such as mushrooms may even grow in the corners of some people's homes.

In plum rainy weather, the environment has high humidity, low wind speed, and lack of light exposure. People in this season often encounter problems such as clothes not drying no matter how much they are dried. When they wake up in the morning, water is everywhere on the floor and walls, and the quilt is sticky.

There are also some tips for dealing with the rainy weather. First of all, residents should open fewer windows indoors. One of the main reasons why indoor items become moldy is because there is too much moisture in the air. Avoid opening windows to reduce the intrusion of water vapor into the room. This reduces the chances of things getting moldy.

People in the rainy season are really afraid of doing laundry. If you don't wash the clothes, the clothes will be too dirty, and if you wash them, they won't dry. It feels sticky when worn and has a musty smell. Therefore, during the rainy season, families must prepare a washing machine with a drying function. It was too difficult to expect the clothes to dry. It's possible that after you've left it in the sun for a few days, the clothes are dry before they're even spin-dried.

You should also be careful when using water during the rainy season. Don’t expect the water spilled on the floor to evaporate. Because the moisture content in the air is too high. So friends who love working should pay attention. It is best to use a dry rag or mop when wiping the tabletop and mopping the floor during the rainy season. Otherwise, it is very likely that after a few days, the water stains you wiped will still remain on the furniture. This will accelerate the development of mold.

In dealing with the rainy weather, the most important thing is to keep the indoors dry. Therefore, it is best for families to prepare some air desiccant to keep the room dry. If there is a peculiar smell in the room, you can also choose to use tea to absorb the smell.
