Hanging clothes too close together slows down drying time. When fabrics stay damp for extended periods, it encourages mold growth and fabric damage. This can lead to skin irritation or unpleasant smells, especially on towels and undergarments.
✅ Tip: Space out garments when hanging them to allow airflow. Give each item enough room to dry properly.
4. Not Cleaning the Drying Area Regularly
Whether it’s an outdoor clothesline or an indoor rack, dust, pollen, and mold can accumulate over time. Hanging clean clothes on a dirty rack re-contaminates them, especially for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
✅ Tip: Wipe down drying areas regularly, especially if drying clothes indoors. For outdoor lines, give them a quick rinse every week.
