I did my laundry this weekend like I do every weekend. Hung it up to dry on the laundry racks in my apartment.

When I went to get some clothes to wear today I noticed all the laundry had a terrible smell to it. I know that it didn't dry properly from the humindity all weekend.

I was just wondering if anyone has any drying tips so that my clothes don't stink all summer.

thanks

Put it next to the hot air from your air con (the other end).

I had that problem last year. If it is a sunny day you can hang them outside and they can usually dry in time. (that is if a rain storm doesn't come along) Try putting a fan or two on them... that helps as well. Or the best way to avoid it. Go to your local bbarae bang ������. They are everywhere in Korea and usually pretty cheap. Mine washes dries and folds it for about 5,000�� for a regular size bag. And 10,000�� for a large bag. Quite a good deal and my t-shirts and underwear have shrunk back to normal size!!!

Stick a big ole fan set on high in front of the clothes rack.

Just beware of Fan Death.

Definantly just set the fan on them for a few hours with the sun drying them(well if you are lucky).

It will dry them out quickly.

You can always use an iron!!!

Get a washer and dryer. It's well worth the 600 0000won if you plan on staying here a couple of years. Get a 10L one, the smaller one I had wasn't powerful enough to dry jeans in less than 3 hours (my new 10 L one does it in 40 minutes).

Screw a dryer... save space and money. Buy an air conditioner and run it to take the water out. Or buy dehumidifier (Chae -Soup- Gee). You can but them off of the net for 100,000 or so.

I just move the close drying rack inside the apartment, and put the clothes on it. By the end of the day or early the next morning they are dry.
