Snuggle Suggests a Laundry Formula to Reduce Summer Odors

High temperatures and humidity lengthen drying time, causing clothes and towels that do not dry properly to develop a damp, sour smell. In summer, when indoor drying becomes more common, managing laundry odors has emerged as an important everyday concern.

It is important not to leave sweat-soaked clothes or used towels piled up for too long. If damp laundry is left in a humid state, bacteria can multiply easily and cause odors. Washing as soon as possible is best. If immediate washing is difficult, it helps to leave the items in a well-ventilated place to dry briefly rather than putting them straight into a laundry basket.

Using more detergent than the amount of laundry requires can leave residue behind and, in fact, cause a sour smell. Excessive suds can also reduce washing efficiency, leaving an unpleasant odor even after the wash. Following the recommended amount is important.

Snuggle, the fabric care brand of global household goods company Unilever Korea, has introduced two Snuggle Indoor Drying Sunshine fabric softeners. Both products strengthen deodorizing ingredients to twice the level of the company's existing products, helping manage everyday odors that can easily develop during indoor drying. With a sunny scent, they leave a subtle fragrance that lasts long after washing.

Snuggle Indoor Drying fabric softener 'Huggable Sunshine' offers a clear, refreshing scent like sunlight, blending the bright citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin with ylang-ylang floral tones. 'Mellow Sunshine' is characterized by a soft, cozy sunlight-like fragrance, wrapping the bright floral notes of rose and peony in the warmth of amber.

After washing, it is important to dry laundry as quickly as possible. The longer wet clothes remain damp, the easier it is for a musty smell to set in. Hang them up immediately after washing so air can circulate well, and if needed, use a dryer as well to help keep them fresh.
