The shelf outside the window was erected by myself, and it will definitely die outside. When drying, first prepare a bamboo pole on a clothes drying rack at home, hang the clothes on it, and clip it with clips. After the entire clothes hanger is full, use both hands to hold the bamboo pole with the clothes hanging on it, put it out the window, and put it on the shelf. . The same goes for drying the quilt.
Generally speaking, old houses are like this. In recent years, the property management of houses no longer allows the installation of protruding clothes racks, but some Shanghainese are used to it and still install them.

Notes on drying clothes:
1. For silk materials
In summer, silk clothes are more breathable, so We love wearing them. After the silk clothes are washed, we put them in a cool place. Now we can slowly dry them using natural wind and weak sunlight. Since the quality of silk is not very resistant to sunlight, we must avoid exposing silk fabrics to sunlight.
2. Wool materials
For wool clothing, you should also avoid exposure to sunlight and direct sunlight. Because woolen clothes have an oleylamine film on the outside of the wool fiber, if the woolen sweater is exposed to the sun, this oleylamine film will fall off, causing the clothes to lose their luster, and then the woolen sweater will gradually turn yellow. Therefore, washed wool sweaters should also be placed in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
3. Cotton and linen
More clothes are made of cotton and linen, so the fabrics on the clothes are generally washed and placed directly in the sun , exposed to the sun to dry, because the high temperature of the sun will not damage the fabric on the surface of the clothes. One last thing to note is that to prevent your clothes from being exposed to the sun for long periods of time, it’s best to hang your clothes upside down.
4. For close-fitting clothes
The best way to dry clothes is to expose them directly to the sun. If you turn your underwear upside down to bask in the sun, it will be easy for the surface of the underwear to be stained with dust, dirt, and microorganisms, so there is no need to turn it over to bask in the sun. Don’t leave it under long sunlight either, as it may not yield a harvest for a few days. So remember to put your underwear away once it’s dry and give it a shake.
