Do you have to hang clothes upside down? Why do you hang clothes upside down?

We usually hang clothes out to dry directly after washing them. In fact, there are many things to pay attention to when hanging clothes. Clothes made of different materials have different drying methods. Some clothes need to be hung on the reverse side, and some clothes cannot be hung to dry.

It depends on what kind of clothes they are. Not all clothes need to be dried inside out.

1. Generally, coats can be dried in reverse, especially brightly colored dark clothes (such as dark denim jackets, jeans, etc.) must be dried in reverse. It can prevent the front of the clothes from being discolored by the sun and affecting the appearance of wearing.

2. Underwear, underwear and other close-fitting clothing must be air-dried on the front. If they are air-dried with the back facing outward, the clothes will be stained with dust and bacteria, which can easily cause skin diseases, allergies and other conditions when they come into direct contact with the skin.

There are three main reasons for hanging clothes upside down:

First: the inside of the clothes is in contact with the human skin, and is stained with sweat and other bacteria. Turning the clothes over allows sunlight to directly reach the back of the clothes, and the sterilization effect will be more obvious.

Second: The sun is strong at noon, which can indeed make clothes dry quickly, but direct sunlight can also easily cause clothes to fade. Fading is a process, a very slow process, and it cannot be felt with the naked eye.

Third: White shirts or other conspicuous colors need to be measured in reverse to avoid getting the clothes dirty and to prevent them from turning yellow.

1. Sunlight can disinfect, and it is good to hang clothes and quilts more often. Some cotton clothes that are not afraid of drying can be dried in the sun.

2. For some clothes, there will be words such as afraid of drying on the label. For such clothes, they should be dried in a well-ventilated and sun-free place.

3. For clothes of ordinary material and light color, there is not much difference between drying them front side or inside side. Some dark or brightly colored clothes, or denim materials that are easy to fade in the sun, can be turned inside out to dry.

4. After absorbing water, clothes such as sweaters are heavy, so they tend to lose shape when drying. You can buy a drying net to prevent sweaters from losing shape. If you don't want to buy it, you can use more hangers to flatten the clothes and dry them. Silk, cashmere, and wool clothes are best dried upside down to prevent ultraviolet rays from destroying their softness.

What are the requirements for hanging clothes

1. Dry your underwear in the sun

The boss said that underwear must be dried right side up, because underwear will be in close contact with our body. If it is dried upside down, a lot of dust and bacteria will stick to it, which poses a safety hazard to your health. Especially for people with sensitive skin, you need to pay more attention! So underwear must be dried right side up, and be sure to put it away in time after drying.

2. Dry your coat inside out

Underwear should be dried right side up, but general outerwear needs to be dried upside down, especially if the color is darker or easy to fade, such as jeans, denim jackets, etc., it must be dried right side up, especially in the summer when the sun is strong, otherwise it will definitely fade and discolor after being exposed to the sun for a long time, and the more it is exposed to the sun, the whiter it will become!

3. Dry the dehydrated clothes immediately

In addition to the question of whether clothes should be hung upside down, you should also take out clothes from the washing machine and hang them up in time after washing them. Before hanging them up, it is best to shake them a few times by hand to prevent wrinkles. For clothes like bed sheets and quilts, it is best to fold them before storing them after drying, so as to avoid them becoming wrinkled when you use them.

4. Sweaters cannot be hung directly to dry

In daily life, many people should have encountered such a problem, that is, the sweater is getting longer and bigger, and it is deformed after washing several times. The deformation of the sweater is actually related to the way you usually dry it. The sweater must not be directly dried after washing, otherwise the moisture on the sweater will cause the sweater to deform. After washing the sweater, we dehydrate the sweater, and then lay it flat on the grid and curtain. After the water is almost drained, hang it on the hanger and put it in a ventilated and cool place to dry. This can prevent the sweater from deforming!
