Air drying your clothes indoors can releases moisture into your space, which can result in your laundry smelling musty.
This can also lead to the formation of mould spores overtime as humidity levels spike in your home.
But now B&M shoppers can combat this issue with a budget-friendly buy.
The Air Scents Hanging Dehumidifier is currently available for just 86p.
Product details
Designed to smell like fresh linen, this item will leave your clothes smelling better than ever.
Simply hang this laundry buy alongside your clothes and let it work its magic.
According to the product description, this item provides a “quick and easy way to help remove damp”.
It also helps to improve the air quality around the home, which in turn reduces your risk of mould.
Prevents damage
This item is designed to absorb moisture from the air, helping to reduce musty odours.
As well as preventing your clothes from smelling, this dehumidifier also prevents any damage to the garments.
Excess moisture can damage your clothes, breaking down the fabric over time.
By creating a drier environment in a small, enclosed space like a wardrobe, these devices help keep clothes fresh.
This in turn prolongs their lifespan and protects them from moisture-related damage.
Hanging one of these in each wardrobe throughout your home can work wonders for your clothes.
Even items you have worn in months will be ridden of any stale smells.
What is mould and how to get rid of it?
Mould is more likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, Product Development Scientist at Astonish revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mould is a common problem many people face during winter. It thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.
“That said, during the colder months most rooms in your home could be vulnerable to mould growing.
“This occurs primarily from condensation that builds up on your windows when you’ve got your radiators on.
“If you think about it, when windows and doors are closed, there’s not much chance for the air to circulate and the moisture to make a swift exit.
“This build up is what can cause dreaded mould to make an appearance, especially in bathrooms, as it creates that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.
“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.
“The key to tackle mould is to act fast.
“Try to come into as little contact with it as you can. So, grab your gloves, tie up your hair and get to work to remove any signs of mould as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.
“The first is keep it ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath. This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.
“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high. You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mould is the quicker you can treat it, the better. If you leave it, it will only get worse so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mould every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s No 1 Mould & Mildew Remover, that effectively removes mould and mildew stains almost instantly, with no scrubbing necessary.”
