Where to put your tancarville? 

Choosing the location for your tancarville depends on several factors.

 First of all, choose a well-ventilated area to make it easier to dry the laundry.

Ideally, place it near a window or in an area with natural air circulation. Avoid damp places to prevent laundry from taking on an unpleasant odor.

If possible, install the drying rack in a laundry room or bathroom with adequate ventilation.

 Make sure the chosen location allows easy access to the drying rack without taking up space.

Why hang out the laundry at night?

Hanging out laundry at night can be a smart strategy for a variety of reasons.

First, cooler temperatures at night often allow for slower, gentle drying, thereby preserving fabric fibers.

This can be especially beneficial for delicate clothing that could be damaged by rapid drying in the sun. This approach also reduces exposure to harmful UV rays and thus preserves the vibrancy of clothing colors. Another advantage is linked to energy saving.

 By hanging laundry at night, you can avoid using a tumble dryer or other electric drying appliances during peak hours.

Laundry can often dry without additional effort because nighttime naturally brings higher relative humidity which aids the drying process.
