Why laundry odors get worse during the rainy season

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the nationwide average temperature in April 2026 was 13.8 degrees Celsius, 1.7 degrees higher than normal. It was the third-highest April average temperature on record since 1973. As the early heat continues, concerns about indoor drying during the approaching rainy season are growing. In humid summer weather, laundry takes longer to dry, making musty odors more likely to develop.

Basic washing tips to reduce odors when drying indoors

It is important not to leave laundry sitting for too long. If wet clothes or towels cannot be washed right away, it is better to let them air out briefly in a well-ventilated place. Using hot water can also help suppress odor-causing bacteria. Washing with hot water helps remove bacteria and block unpleasant smells.

The role of fabric softener designed for indoor drying

To more effectively block the distinctive laundry odor that comes with the rainy season, it is a good idea to use a fabric softener designed for indoor drying that targets odor-causing bacteria. Rather than simply adding fragrance, such products suppress the growth of bacteria that can multiply during the drying process, helping prevent the root cause of unpleasant odors.
