Affordable Winter Hack: Salt, Chalk, and Newspapers Can Reduce Dampness Indoors
Winter Hacks: Drying clothes becomes a major challenge with the arrival of winter. Moisture often causes clothes to smell. Learn how a simple home hack can help you dry your clothes quickly and odor-free at home.
Drying clothes becomes a huge challenge once winter is around the corner. With less sunlight, increased humidity, and drying indoors can take all day long. Not always can one afford to run a heater or dryer. Thankfully, a simple household item can rid you of this stress in just minutes. Learn how this straightforward winter hack will have your clothes dried quickly-even in the harshest cold-without a heater.
Salt naturally absorbs moisture. When clothes are dried within the house, the extra moisture in the air slows down the drying process. In this case, putting a bowl of salt in the room draws moisture from the air. Once the humidity is reduced, the clothes dry quickly.
If you're drying wet clothes in a bedroom, drawing room, or other small room, place one or two bowls of salt in a corner. Within a few hours, you'll notice a difference: the room feels less damp, and clothes dry faster than before.
In addition to salt, it is very important to ensure proper ventilation. Let in some fresh air from an open window or run a light fan to keep the air circulating; this removes moisture. Not only does this expedite the drying process, but it also minimizes the chances of mold growth. Especially for clothes drying in the bedroom or living room, it is even more important to maintain fresh air in the room.

In order to decrease humidity in a room, unrefined salt, chalk, or old newspaper can be used. All these materials are natural moisture-absorbing materials that help keep clothes dry and reduce dampness. Table salt, rock salt, or rock salt all work perfectly for this purpose. They are also very cheap, so the techniques remain budget-friendly for everyone.
When the salt has completely absorbed moisture, its color and texture begin to change. It either becomes damp or gradually darkens. As soon as this change is noticed, it should be replaced immediately. For best results, it's best to use fresh salt with each new batch of laundry. Keep in mind that air circulation is crucial when drying clothes indoors. This prevents moisture from accumulating and reduces the chances of odor or mold developing in the room.
