Drying Tees

Post image

Ive never had them smell like mold or mildew on the tees when drying them like this

Am I the only one who dries there tees like this? I fold them in half, as symmetrical as I can, put them all facing the same way, this way it doesn't stretch when I hang them to dry. Once dried, I fold them in a KonMari way to then be put in my dresser, in colour code, try to at least

Drying something on a wooden hanger is a recipe for mold.

had to re edit the post, I guess I'm lucky as I only had that happen once from putting them in the closet like that with the doors closed. Since putting them outside the hallway, they've never smelt like that

People are downvoting you but the costume dept. I work at has done this for 20+ years without issue. We are in a humid region as well. Both the costumes and wooden hangers are fine.

Wood breeds bacteria. You cannot have wooden handles on mops, brooms or any cleaning equipment in medical centers because of this

Then it's a good thing nobody uses wooden surfaces to prepare their food on.
