I know people in Melbourne who have a germicidal UV lamp set up for winters. They just have to run the cord to another room and make sure they aren't looking at the lamp
What do I do if the humidity is worse outside than inside? Do I let it air out inside? Or maybe the humidity will lower later in the day. I am also getting a dehumidifier for the inside.
As long as you regularly clean and air your futon it shouldn't be an issue. There are special futon cleaning sprays you can get from either home depot or Daiso. Bugs usually don't enter, but there is some risk if you have tatami floors. Tatami needs a lot of special care, to prevent bugs.
@@adeca5052 Tatami is very comfortable but very high maintenance. It must be swept regularly with a special broom or wipes to help keep it oiled. Also once a year I woukd recommend to use the special spray (ダニアース) that kills the bugs in the Tatami , there's also prevention spray called 虫除け or prevention air freshener called ダニよけハーブ. Futon on tatami is a perfect place for mites to live, so keep this place clean and dry. I would recommend to pack up futon daily if on tatami. There's also special electric blanket setting you can use in winter to help keep the mites off, usually will say denki moufu, 電気毛布. There were many videos about how to maintain tatami. I'm not sure what coconut coil is?
Dehumidifiers help a lot! They're only ¥100 from Daiso or similar stores. I also have special padding I buy during winter to go around the windows, because the condensation gets quiet bad. Air con is pretty much necessary during the worst of summer, though I was lucky and had not very humid summers so far. Though I'm from Australia originally and my home city Brisbane gets fairly humid.
Hi, can you tell me what your futon is made of? I have a wool futon with cotton in the center I think it is? And it's super heavy. I think I want two instead of one. Do you have any thoughts? Thank you
Sorry for late reply I didn't get a notification T.T I got mine from Nitori, honestly I love their products. I recommend spending a little more on a futon as the really cheap ones are too thin, unless you have tatami flooring.
I've been thinking of buying a tall stand used for making those balloon/curtain decoration for photos. But the weight capacity is around 15 lbs. I think that's too light. My balcony has a metal fence that doesn't have a horizontal rod so I'm afraid my futon would puncture or the shape would get worn out..
Actually, maybe you said it right. I figured the “n” sound would be drawn out longer, or it is when the computer on Google says it. But a Japanese person I listen to said it quickly as you did. 🤷♂️

I live in New Orleans, and I setup an area in the backyard with a CLEAN pallet to let my futon bask in the sun all day!

What do you do if you don’t have a balcony or yard to hang the futon? Asking because my apartment building doesn’t and I want to try a futon.
You can buy a futon dryer.
You folded that blanket like a pro!

Super Sid Japan thank you! So do you recommend that I get the coconut coil instead of the tatami mat?

I'm not sure what coconut coil is?
@T R do we air out the coconut coir pad too? Just got mine from the futon shop & my futon from there
@T R okay thank you!!
How do you clean spills or liquids out of a futon?
Thank you for the video! I was thinking of putting a futon on my bed base, but the futon length is too long for my bed by 20 cm :(
Good video, Nice dress, where can one find one?
How do you battle inside humidity?

What if I don’t have access to a balcony or something? Can I just put it near the window that’s beaming sunlight with the window open?
What if you dont have a balcony? Is there a futon drying rack?
I just put it over a small 2x2 shelf and set it front of an open window

Where did you get your pillow?
Where in Japan did you buy your futon? I'm looking for recommendations. please and thank you

I bought from FutonsFromJapan they do world shipping and delivery in Japan so you wouldn’t have to wait long

Can you post a link to this Nitori you got your Futon from please? Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this tutorial I just got a new futon! Also you are super cute! 😉
Nice tutorial
How thick is your double futon and how much does it weigh?
What to do if I live in a apartment building and I don't have balcony( Maximum I can do - open window and put my futon on a chair(
As long as you regularly get it up off the floor and into the sunlight you should avoid molding issues. ^^
How long do you leave it out in the sun?
I usually leave the whole day but 2 hours of direct sunlight is usually enough to kill any nasty bacteria in your futon.
Wouldn’t a ,stress protector help prevent moisture from hitting into the futon to prevent mold?
I'm not sure to be honest, but Japanese homes get very humid inside I would recommend do this as often as is practical even with a protector.

could i put a wire string thing in my room to hang it on when it rains? so it’s out of the way but still hanging?
That or I use a metal rod that fits inside my bathroom and keep the fan on. I'd show you but I'm stuck in Australia due to border restrictions.
I love your voice ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so kindly 💖
Maan, that music/wind instrument made it ramt difficult to hear/focus on what you were saying. 😵
Otherwise good content.
Came for futon care... stayed for the legs
lol
I would hold the “n” sound in 「みんなさん」one step longer. 😉
Actually, maybe you said it right. I figured the “n” sound would be drawn out longer, or it is when the computer on Google says it. But a Japanese person I listen to said it quickly as you did. 🤷♂️
