This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Since my father smokes on the balcony and the smell of smoking is always attached to my clothes, I bought a clothes rack this morning to hang my clothes inside my room. My mum is worried that the clothes can't get much sunlight and that may cause mold on them. However, my room receives strong winds all year round so that's not a problem. I can finally have fragrant clothes!

Since My father smokes on the balcony and the smell of smoking smoke is always attached to on my clothes, so this morning I bought a clothes rack this morning to hang my clothes inside for my room. My mum is worried that the my clothes can't won't get much sunlight and that may cause mold on them. However, it's very windy in my room receives strong winds all year round so that's not a problem.

See above. I'm a bit confused by the idea of strong winds in your bedroom. Don't you have windows and a door? Also, I assume your dad doesn't smoke 24/7 on the balcony so if your mum's worried, you can all put your clothes out in the fresh air when your dad's not out there.

It's very humid in summer so sometimes the clothes might have a mold odor if hanged inside the room.

:ROFLMAO:He smokes about every 30 minutes so I don't bother to take my clothes out. I can do it when he sleeps, but he wakes up quite frequently at night to smoke so I don't bother to do so either.

I will probably say they smell moldy, but "mold odor" is not terrible.

Say:

I could do it while he's sleeping, but he wakes up frequently at night to smoke, so I don't bother to do it then either.

The word "then" refers to "while he's sleeping".
