Arab Weather - Women usually find it difficult to dry their family's clothes during the winter, as temperatures drop and drying becomes a longer process. This difficulty increases on rainy days, making it difficult to hang clothes outdoors as usual.

In this context, many mothers exchanged tips for drying clothes in the winter, with instructions on the best times to hang them, including:

  1. Clothes can be hung out early in the morning and collected in the afternoon, to ensure they dry well and have a fresh scent.
  2. If rain is expected, it is recommended to put plastic covers over clothes to prevent them from getting wet.
  3. If clothes get wet due to rain, it is advisable to collect them and leave them in a large place inside the house until they dry completely, instead of folding them and putting them in the closet.

Helpful tips for washing in winter

Here are some helpful winter laundry tips to make drying easier and ensure your clothes stay clean and smell fresh:

  1. Wash at the right times: Wash clothes early in the morning, so that there is enough time to dry them during the day before nightfall.
  2. Choose dry, well-ventilated places: If it is difficult to hang laundry outside, use dry, well-ventilated places inside the house, such as near a window or a ventilation fan.
  3. Using an electric dryer: If you have a clothes dryer, this can be very useful in the winter, as it helps dry clothes quickly without relying on the outside weather.
  4. Use plastic covers: On rainy days, it is preferable to put clear plastic covers over the clothes when hanging them outside to protect them from rain and moisture.
  5. Reduce the amount of laundry in each cycle: Avoid putting large amounts of clothes in the washing machine at once; this makes it difficult to dry them later and increases drying time.
  6. Rotate and change clothes: If clothes are hung indoors, be sure to rotate and change their positions from time to time to ensure even drying.
  7. Use fabric softeners or air fresheners: In winter, clothes can lack a fresh scent; therefore, it is recommended to use fabric softeners or air fresheners to give them a nice scent that lasts after drying.
  8. Avoid folding clothes before they are completely dry: Do not fold or store clothes before making sure they are completely dry, as this can lead to an unpleasant odor due to moisture.
