Easy Tips to Beat Summer Odors
Beat Summer Odors with Atomy Products
Summer brings a full-blown battle against odors. Even freshly washed clothes can develop a stale scent, closets quickly fill with damp, unpleasant smells, and in severe cases, mold can begin to form. Increased perspiration also heightens concerns about body odor. Adding to the problem, the rainy season drives humidity levels even higher, accelerating the growth of bacteria and mold and raising the risk of respiratory issues. Dust mites, a major trigger for asthma and allergies, also thrive in humid conditions, making extra care essential.
To keep summer humidity in check and prevent mold, placing dehumidifiers around your home is highly effective—especially in enclosed spaces like closets and drawers. Many modern apartments also have dressing rooms or linen closets located next to bathrooms, which are easily exposed to moisture after showers. In these areas, consistent moisture management with dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers is essential. Since moisture tends to rise from the floor, placing dehumidifiers at the bottom of closets can further improve results.
Atomy Silica Gel Moisture Absorber is a semi-permanent, reusable solution. When the yellow indicator gel absorbs moisture, it changes to dark green or brown. To reuse it, simply dry it in a microwave for two to three minutes or leave it in the sun for one to two days. The microscopic pores on the silica gel surface absorb moisture from the air and also help capture harmful substances such as toluene and formaldehyde, delivering powerful moisture and odor control.

Laundry becomes one of summer’s biggest challenges. High humidity makes clothes slow to dry, and even freshly laundered items often develop unpleasant odors. A common culprit is Moraxella bacteria, which feed on detergent residue, skin oils, and sweat, and thrive in damp environments. These bacteria may pose health risks for people with weakened immune systems, such as children and the elderly, so extra care is advised.
① Preventing Mold in Your Washing Machine If odors persist even after thorough washing, the washing machine itself may be the source. After each use, leave the door open to allow air circulation and dry the interior, helping to prevent mold growth. Ideally, the drum should be cleaned once a month. Fill the drum with water, add about 500 ml (roughly 2.5 paper cups) of sodium percarbonate, let it soak for about an hour, and then run a standard wash cycle.
Atomy O2 Bubble Power, a sodium percarbonate–based cleaner, can be used for both laundry and household sanitizing, including washing machine care, when used as directed. Oxygen bubbles help break down stains and buildup, while five specialized enzymes target different types of residue for powerful cleaning. It has also received the highest rating in dermatological testing from Germany’s Dermatest, supporting its safe use.

② Vacation-Season Swimwear Care Tips Swimwear can get damaged or start to smell if it isn’t washed properly. After swimming, rinse it right away in clean water to wash away pool chlorine or sea salt. Skip the washing machine and soak it for 2–3 minutes in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently hand-wash, rinse well several times, pat it dry with a towel, and let it air-dry in the shade.
Atomy Wool & Down Detergent is a gentle detergent that helps prevent shrinkage, fading, and stretching. It’s great for delicate items that need extra care. Made with plant-based surfactants from palm and coconut and Danish enzyme complex, it cleans effectively while staying gentle on fabrics. It also leaves behind an allergen-free cotton scent that feels soft and fresh after every wash.

Summer is the season of sweat. Although many people think sweat itself causes odor, fresh sweat is mostly water and is actually odorless. The real cause of body odor is bacteria that break down sweat. Men, in particular, may need extra care, as hormonal activity can make body odor stronger and more noticeable.
