Many people like to dry clothes indoors for convenience, but few know the hazards. Here are the 5 major downsides of indoor laundry drying:

Hong Kong is often humid and rainy, and many live in small flats or studios where wet laundry cannot be hung outdoors—it must dry in the room or living area. This carries risks! A UK man was diagnosed with chronic aspergillosis after long-term indoor drying. Hong Kong doctors warn that indoor laundry raises humidity and encourages mold, triggering bronchitis or even acute pneumonia. They recommend 6 tips including the simplest: open windows and keep air circulating.

In Hong Kong, it's hard to avoid drying clothes indoors. Even knowing it's bad for health, avoiding it isn't easy.

With diatom shikkui walls, even when drying clothes indoors without air conditioning or dehumidifier, humidity won't rise quickly, preventing mold growth.

Watch this Japanese YouTube test to see how diatom shikkui significantly slows humidity spikes.

Why does dust return so quickly after cleaning, even with windows closed? Besides electronics, common latex paint and wallpaper contain resin that easily generates static electricity, attracting dust. A Japanese TV program covered this topic, explaining indoor dust causes, health effects, and daily maintenance tips.

Can paint kill bacteria and viruses? In early February, a Wuhan hospital urgently procured shikkui (alkaline paint) from Japan's Kansai region as part of its pandemic response. The paint was then widely applied to hospital walls and ceilings. Researchers conducted virus tests and found shikkui's antimicrobial efficacy exceptional—reducing 99.6% of H5N1 avian flu virus within 30 minutes, with significant effects on SARS, HIV, and Ebola.

Today marks the spring equinox—weather gradually warms, rain increases, and the air is very humid. Tired of condensation? Besides running your dehumidifier and AC, consider diatomaceous earth. Diatom and diatomaceous earth are the same mineral with different names, hailed as nature's moisture absorber. Diatoms are among Earth's earliest single-celled plant plankton; their hard, porous shells settle on the seabed. After death they form diatomaceous shale (porous silica mineral) with exceptional moisture-regulating ability.
