Essential practices to keep your rainy day laundry woes at bay

keep your clothes fresh and clean, no matter the weather


As the rainy season starts, doing laundry can become a struggle for a lot of us. Clothes take longer to dry, and they often have that musty, kulob smell that makes laundry experience a hassle.

But having no sun doesn’t mean you should bear with damp, smelly clothes. Despite the gloomy weather, there are still some ways to help keep your clothes clean and fresh this rainy season, and that includes changing some habits you thought were harmless to your laundry.

That is why home solutions brand, Midea, is here to help you with the right practices and appliances so you can keep those laundry woes at bay.



Don’t store damp clothes too long

It might seem harmless to delay doing laundry on rainy days, but leaving your damp clothes unwashed for too long can result in a kulob smell. Midea suggests washing your damp clothes as soon as possible and making sure to dry them thoroughly. A washer-dryer combo can be helpful to get both steps done in one process, saving your time and your clothes from having an unpleasant smell.

For instance, the Midea Luna Inverter Series Fully Automatic Front Load Combo Washing Machine, by its name, has both a washer and dryer. It is powered by HealthGuard™ feature that enables faster, stronger washes and pre-wash Steam Care for 99.99% sterilization, so you’re ensured that it goes beyond cleaning but also eliminates germs, allergens, and bacteria that cause odors on your clothes.

Beat the smell and stains with DIY fixes

That kulob smell can be stubborn, especially in wet seasons when there’s no sunlight to dry clothes, and while fabric conditioner helps, sometimes it is not enough. For an extra boost, consider adding vinegar to your rinse cycle. This simple kitchen staple naturally eliminates odors, removes stains, and also acts as a natural fabric softener, keeping your laundry clean and fresh.

And if you’re dealing with muddy stains and tagulamin or mildew, there’s a simple DIY trick you can try at home. Mix equal parts of vinegar and baking soda to create a paste, gently scrub it on the affected area, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse to make stubborn stains easier to wash.

Remove the clothes after the cycle ends

One of the habits we usually and admittedly do is to let a finished load sit in the washer or dryer for too long. Surprisingly, while the clothes are already cleaned, leaving them in the washing machine more than necessary can cause that musty smell that everybody hates.

This is where smart appliances come in handy. Investing in a washing machine that has a smart control feature is helpful as it can operate your washing machine remotely and receive alerts when your laundry is done. This is now possible with the Midea Luna Inverter Series with its Wi-Fi Control feature, so you can monitor the wash cycle through smartphones and operate your washing machine anytime, anywhere at your fingertips.

Use iron

If your laundry is still slightly damp and you need it dry in no time, gently pressing it with an iron can help remove the remaining moisture and speed up the drying process.

Invest in an efficient washer-dryer combo

The right appliance makes all the difference during the rainy season. The Midea Luna Inverter Series Fully Automatic Front Load Combo Washing Machine is designed for convenience, energy savings, and hygienic cleaning—no matter the weather.

Apart from its reliable features—such as HealthGuard™, which works with Auto Clean and Steam Care, and WiFi Control—this automatic washer-dryer combo also uses Inverter Quattro technology to help save energy with every load. The Auto Clean feature keeps the drum sterilized to prevent secondary contamination, ensuring consistently high washing performance.

In line with its commitment to helping Filipinos discover happiness at home, Midea continues to innovate and deliver smart and quality solutions that make everyday chores more convenient, rain or shine.

New HONOR Magic V5 Can Carry Sofa, 35-kg Dumbbell – Confirmed to launch on September 5!

You’ve seen HONOR’s thinnest foldable, how about the toughest?


Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines officially announced the arrival of its newest foldable HONOR Magic V5 on September 5! The new high-end phone from the viral tech giant boasts remarkable durability. 

Don’t dare to miss the launch live on Facebook: https://bit.ly/MagicV5Launch_FB.

“Since the rise of foldables in 2019, it has undergone several waves of innovation, evolving from thick, crease-prone designs to sleeker, more practical form factors. With each generation, the focus has shifted toward slimmer profiles, greater portability, and a user experience closer to that of bar phones. HONOR has been at the forefront of this transformation, continuously pushing the boundaries of thinness. The HONOR Magic V5 exemplifies this progress, setting a new industry benchmark as the world’s thinnest foldable and redefining what slim truly means in the foldable category,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.


Engineering a Slim and Strong Form

Achieving true slimness in a foldable phone goes beyond shrinking components — it requires structural innovation and advanced materials that provide strength without adding bulk. The HONOR Magic V5 features an improved Super Steel Hinge, which is lighter, offers a tighter fold for reduced thickness, while being durable with a tensile strength of 2300 MPa. This hinge is crucial for supporting the foldable display while maintaining a thin, compact design.
