Snuggle Proposes a Laundry Formula to Reduce Summer Odors

High temperatures and humidity lengthen drying time, causing a musty, sour smell to develop in clothes and towels that do not dry properly. 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 them as soon as possible is best. If immediate washing is difficult, it helps to let them air out in a well-ventilated place rather than leaving them in a laundry basket.

Using more detergent than the amount of laundry can also leave residue behind, which may instead cause a sour smell. Excess suds can reduce washing efficiency, and unpleasant odors may remain even after washing. 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 by twice as much as the company's existing products, helping manage everyday odors that can easily occur when drying laundry indoors. They carry a sunny fragrance that leaves a subtle scent lingering long after washing.

Snuggle Indoor Drying fabric softener 'Snuggle Huggable Sunshine' offers a bright, refreshing scent like sunshine, blending the crisp citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin with ylang-ylang floral tones. 'Mellow Sunshine' is characterized by a soft, cozy sunshine-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 clothes stay damp, the more likely they are to absorb a musty smell. Hang them up immediately after washing so air can circulate well, and if needed, using a dryer as well can help keep them fresh.
