The Russians explained how to wash things in an unheated apartment in September

Chemist Andrei Dorokhov in an interview with Life.ru told the Russians how to wash things in an unheated apartment in September.

As the interlocutor of the publication noted, in a cold apartment with high humidity, jeans and sweatshirts dry for 48 hours, having time to “sour”. The speaker pointed out that bacteria multiply in the fibers, giving an irreducible smell of a damp basement.

Dorokhov stressed that vinegar to add to the compartment for air conditioning does not make sense, and there will be no benefit from it at all, since it is neither bactericidal nor antifungal.

According to the chemist, antibacterial additives, in turn, can be used to stop the spoilage processes that have begun and destroy mold fungi. The expert said that we need not just antibacterial, but primarily antifungal supplements.

As for the pressing, then completely even at maximum speed to dry things will not work, said Dorokhov. He drew attention to the fact that in the laundry there are special dryers that blow the linen with hot air, and you can dry there, and there are some washing machines that have a drying mode. In such cases, it is possible to dry clothes, but simply pressing, even at the highest possible speed, completely dense underwear will not be able to dry, the expert added.

However, the speaker added that a strong pressing of 1200 will help reduce the drying time, and, accordingly, there will be no fungi or mold.
