Why shouldn’t you dry laundry at home?

David Denning, professor of medicine and mycology and director of the National Aspergillosis Center in Manchester, said that “every year, several patients go through intensive care because of these types of infections. It is therefore important to know the dangers of humidity.”

Other risks of drying your laundry at home

– The feeling of cold in winter: The cold can be felt more in an environment with humid air. Therefore, this could cause some people to increase the heating temperature

– Bad odors: Persistent musty or damp odors

– A feeling of fatigue or headaches

– The spread of mites

– Rust of metal objects. Please note that this can be eliminated with lemon and salt.

– Condensation may appear on windows and wall corners

What should you do if you have to dry your wet clothes indoors?

In this case, certain measures should be respected to limit the risks of drying indoors as much as possible:

_ Your clothes, towels and sheets should be spaced out in your drying rack for better air circulation between the textiles. Do not hesitate to remove dry laundry to improve ventilation.

_ Capitalize on spinning the clothes at maximum speed to end up with as few damp clothes as possible
