Bamboo clothing for people living in a damp home

Short answer: In a damp home clothing dries slowly, and that is where the problems arise. Clothing that does not dry completely smells and can develop mould.

Drying is the bottleneck

If the humidity is high, drying takes twice as long as normal. Air the room while the clothes dry, otherwise the moisture in the room rises further. See washing and care.

Not in the bedroom

The bedroom is already the dampest room. Dry the clothes somewhere else. See bamboo bedding.

Materials that dry quickly

Thin fabrics and bamboo viscose dry faster than thick cotton. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

Towels are the worst

A towel that never dries completely starts to smell after a few days. See bamboo towels.

Store dry

Clothing put away slightly damp goes musty in the cupboard within a couple of weeks. Feel the seams, which are the last place to dry. See bamboo underwear for men.
