The chinese can confirm. A lot of elderly in the mainly chinese city I lived in would hang their bedding on literally anything outside. This is bc everyone lived in apartments where not everyone had a bocany.
IDK how to crop but here's a pic of the area around the primary school I went to on google maps! See that? It's bedding!
Wanted to share this bc I just wanted to say this : don't hang your bedding on the streets. Where people walk dogs. Close to the floor. Which is in piss range for dogs.
And to anyone who knows which city this is and think it's not part of china : As much as I wish it was it's own thing. It's not.
Open your windows. I'm serious.
"Airing out" is a practice common in many cultures, because it does make a difference. Here in Germany, we air out our houses even in the middle of winter. Albeit for only short periods of time when it's cold outside. Not only is fresh natural air good for you, but also it's proven to prevent mold.
My grandparents would open at least one window for a while every morning, throughout the whole year. When the weather is nice, the Chinese would hang their beddings on clotheslines outside, for fresh air and sunlight are cleansing.
