How to Care for Your Child’s Clothes During Monsoon Season
Laundry Tips, Drying Hacks & Product Recommendations from Klingaru ( a mom of 2 young boys )
Monsoon brings with it lush greenery, splashes of joy, and of course... muddy clothes, damp laundry rooms, and that stubborn musty smell. For moms of little ones, this season can turn into a laundry marathon—especially with active children who love jumping in puddles!
At Klingaru, we understand how important it is to keep your child’s clothes clean, soft, and hygienic—especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Here’s our ultimate monsoon care guide to keep your child’s wardrobe fresh and dry.
1. Choose the Right Fabrics 🧘🏽♀️
Monsoon means more frequent clothes changes, which is why lightweight, quick-drying fabrics are a must. Cotton is your best friend this season—it's breathable, skin-friendly, and dries relatively fast.
👉🏼 Klingaru Tip: Our 100% cotton kurtas, frocks, and Co-ord sets are designed for all-day comfort—even in sticky, humid weather.
2. Smart Laundry Tips for the Rainy Season🌦️
Soak Right Away: Don’t let muddy or stained clothes sit too long. Soaking them in mild detergent for 15–20 minutes helps loosen dirt before washing.
Avoid Fabric Softeners: They can coat the fabric and trap moisture—especially risky during monsoon when drying takes longer.
Use Mild, Baby-Friendly Detergents: Protect your child’s sensitive skin by choosing gentle, fragrance-free options.
Extra Rinse Cycle: Helps ensure no detergent residue is left behind, especially helpful when clothes are drying slowly.
️ 3. Drying Hacks When the Sun is Hiding 🌥️
Indoor Drying? Increase Airflow!
Use a pedestal fan or a ceiling fan pointed at the drying rack to mimic wind. Open windows slightly to allow air circulation without letting in too much humidity.
Dry in Batches: Overloading the drying area will keep clothes damp longer. Space them out for better airflow.
Turn Clothes Inside Out: Especially for darker colors—this prevents color fading and helps the inner layer dry faster.
Use a Towel Roll Hack: If something is too wet, roll it in a clean, dry towel and gently press (don’t wring) to remove excess water.
Dehumidifier or Room Heater: If you’re in a particularly wet region, consider using a dehumidifier to speed up indoor drying.
4. Keep the Musty Smell Away 🤧
Add a splash of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to naturally deodorize clothes.
Store dry clothes with naphthalene balls or natural sachets of dried lavender or camphor to keep closets smelling fresh.
Ensure clothes are completely dry before folding, as moisture trapped in folded clothes leads to fungal growth and odor.
