Laundry in Tropical Climates: How to Keep Clothes Fresh in Humidity




Dealing with laundry in a tropical climate like Bali can be tricky. The constant humidity can lead to musty odors, mold growth, and quicker wear on fabrics. At Heavenly Laundry in Canggu, we’ve perfected the art of laundry care in humid conditions. Here are our expert tips to keep your clothes fresh and clean, even in tropical climates.


1. Don’t Let Damp Clothes Sit

In humid climates, letting damp clothes sit in a basket for too long can lead to mold, mildew, and musty odors. Always wash sweaty or wet clothes as soon as possible, and avoid piling damp laundry together.


If you don’t have the time, Heavenly Laundry can help by offering fast, reliable services, including 5-Hour Express ensuring your clothes are washed and dried promptly before odors develop.


2. Air-Dry Clothes Properly

Air drying is crucial, but in humid climates, you need to do it right. Drying clothes in high humidity can take longer, leading to unpleasant odors or mildew. Avoid hanging your clothes in areas with a lot of smog or near busy streets, as pollutants and dust can stick to your clothes.


Heavenly Laundry offers the only indoor drying room in Bali, providing an ideal solution for drying clothes without exposure to air pollution or the damaging effects of direct sunlight. This ensures that your clothes dry thoroughly and stay fresh without external contaminants.


4. Proper Storage for Clothes in Humid Conditions

Storing your clothes correctly is just as important as washing them. Humidity can lead to mold, mildew, and musty smells if clothes are stored improperly. Here’s how to store your clothes in tropical environments:


  • Use a Dehumidifier: Keep your closet or storage area dry by using a dehumidifier. This reduces the moisture in the air, preventing mold from forming on your clothes.

  • Moisture-Absorbing Products: Place moisture absorbers or silica gel packs in your drawers or wardrobe to keep humidity levels low.

  • Store in Breathable Fabrics: Avoid storing clothes in plastic bags, which can trap moisture. Instead, use breathable fabric bags to allow air circulation while protecting your clothes.

  • Fold Instead of Hanging Delicates: Heavier fabrics and delicates can stretch when exposed to humidity. Fold these items and store them in a cool, dry place.

At Heavenly Laundry, we ensure your clothes are not only cleaned but also stored properly until you’re ready to pick them up, keeping them in well-ventilated rooms.


5. Use Laundry or Fabric Spray 

For an extra layer of freshness, use a laundry or fabric spray to neutralize odors and keep your clothes smelling clean, even in Bali’s humid climate. Be cautious of laundry sprays that contain toxic chemicals and harmful additives, such as phthalates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, which can damage your clothes and irritate sensitive skin. These chemicals also release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that pollute indoor air and contribute to environmental contamination when washed away. Opt for eco-friendly alternatives like our Heavenly Laundry Sprays, which use natural, biodegradable ingredients to keep your clothes fresh while protecting your health and the planet.


Our antibacterial and eco-friendly laundry sprays are specially crafted not only to keep your clothes fresh, but also to fight bacteria that thrive in humid environments. What sets our sprays apart is their color-safe formula, ensuring your garments remain vibrant and bright without the risk of fading or damage.


Perfect for use between washes or maintaining freshness during storage, our sprays offer an effective solution to protect your clothes in Bali’s tropical weather. By incorporating Heavenly Laundry Spray into your routine, you’ll have the confidence that your clothes will always look, smell, and feel their best, no matter the conditions.
