How can I keep my clothes from getting moldy (in wet areas)?

How to deal with moldy clothes in rainy season?

Mold pollution is one of the most important results in humid environment. This fungus can cause irregular-shaped stains. Its appearance color varies from gray to black, but it is sometimes influenced by yellow to red. It has a musty smell, which sometimes leads to fabric degradation. Plant fiber or protein fiber is most likely to produce mildew spots.

Mold spots are difficult to get rid of. The most effective way is to soak this kind of clothes in aerobic washing particles and wash them wet. Aerobic washing is a kind of washing powder that can inactivate mold and remove musty smell, which can greatly reduce the mildew spots of fiber or greatly dilute its color. Note that before any treatment, use different bleaches for different fiber types and test the color fastness. If the dye can't resist any oxygen bleaching, use ammonia or detergent to test the color fastness, because this may improve the condition of the clothes. Humidity, lack of ventilation or sunlight will accelerate the growth of mold, so clothes placed in plastic bags should be treated immediately to prevent the growth of mold.

Especially in the rainy season, when the temperature is high, clothes are prone to mildew and long hair. When the mold in the air meets the appropriate conditions, it will grow on the culture medium. Mold has strong vitality. Generally, it will grow and reproduce when the temperature is 25℃-30℃, the humidity is above 80% and the oxygen is sufficient. What should I do after the clothes are moldy? Before checking clothes, you should take them out of the box and hang them in a ventilated and dry place. If possible, you can iron it with an electric iron to reduce the moisture on your clothes. Clothes should be hung once in a while to ensure good ventilation. There are many clothes hanging in the clothing store that are not moldy. Clothes have mildew and long white hair, mostly because the neckline, cuffs, pockets and predecessors were not cleaned before collection, which created conditions for bacterial reproduction. In this case, you should wash it with clean water and a little oxygen, brush off the bacteria with a brush, then iron it and hang it to avoid long hair. After the moldy clothes are treated, they should be taken outdoors to dry when the weather is good. Generally, woolen goods and leather clothes can be dried in the sun. Leather clothes need to be exposed to the sun for three or four hours, and then shake off the dust when they are cool. Silk clothes should not be exposed to the sun, but should be dried in the shade to avoid fabric aging. Keep clothes properly after drying. When storing clothes, you can put some mothballs and camphor blocks in the box. At the same time, it is best to store all kinds of clothes such as silk, fur and woolen cloth separately.

During the rainy season, washed clothes are not easy to dry, and often have an unpleasant musty smell. If the clothes are washed again with water with a little vinegar and milk, the musty smell can be removed. If the clothes or sheets in the collection are yellow, you can apply some milk, put them in the sun for a few hours, and then do aerobic washing in the usual way. (Yan Jinghua)

Mould, the bad influence on clothes and human body.

Hangzhou has a subtropical climate, which is warm and humid. The growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria and molds are particularly lively, and articles are prone to corruption, mildew and unpleasant smells. Houses and peripheral equipment closely related to human life, if full of bacteria and mold erosion, will often cause the destruction of the surrounding environment, resulting in the loss of equipment and facilities, making human beings face uncomfortable feelings everywhere, not only reducing the quality of life, but also bringing terrible diseases to human beings due to the breeding of bacteria and mold.

Adverse effects of mold on clothes and human body

Generally speaking, the adverse effects of microorganisms on human body and clothes are as follows:

(1) discolors the fiber material.

(2) Fiber materials are fragile and decompose, reducing strength.

(3) susceptible to infectious diseases (sweat spots, tinea pedis).

(4) Infants are prone to dermatitis.

(5) The elderly are prone to bedsore.

In order to prevent the propagation of mold and bacteria and reduce their direct harm to human body, we should choose washing powder containing active oxygen.

Although ordinary washing powder can effectively decontaminate and clean clothes, it can't effectively remove diseases and molds on fibers and really clean clothes in a short washing process. Especially in the rainy season, it is easier to make clothes fiber a hotbed of diseases and molds, which not only makes clothes stink, but also affects health. The thorough solution: using washing powder with the function of "sterilization and mildew prevention" is the most effective method; In the formula of aerobic sterilization concentrated powder of aerobic laundry granules, the ingredient of "active oxygen sterilization and bleaching" is adopted, which makes it have excellent sterilization and mildew resistance. Proved by the national authoritative gutter experiment, it has obvious inhibitory effect on bacteria, and can effectively clean clothes, sterilize and prevent mold.

The decontamination effect of aerobic washing is the comprehensive result of wetting, permeation, emulsification, dispersion, foaming, solubilization, oxidation and decomposition of active oxygen and surfactant. The decontamination process can be described as soaking dirty clothes in an aerobic detergent. The water of the aerobic detergent can easily wet the dirty clothes and quickly penetrate into the fibers along the fibers. Due to the action of surfactant molecules, the adhesion of dirt on the fiber is greatly reduced, and under the action of mechanical forces (such as friction and stirring), dirt falls off the surface of the fiber and enters the solution. Dirt and bacteria in the depth of fiber are directly converted into small molecules soluble in water through the decomposition of active oxygen. Oil is solubilized and emulsified by surfactant, and solid dirt and dust are dispersed and suspended in the solution, which is the decontamination process of detergent.

Clothes should not only be washed clean, but also need a little more love and care to make the baby's clothes look like new ones! As long as oxygen is used to wash clothes, it can effectively soften the fibers of the clothes, leaving a faint fresh fragrance on the clothes, making the clothes fragrant and soft and comfortable to wear!
