Experts warn against drying clothes in one particular room in the house

As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, Britons face the dual challenge of managing household tasks amid both seasonal changes and the cost of living crisis.

With energy bills soaring, drying clothes on a radiator rather than using a costly tumble dryer is becoming an increasingly common choice for many.Yet, experts are cautioning against drying laundry inside your home, particularly in one room: the bedroom.

Researchers highlight that this practice could lead to mould, dampness, and potential health issues. According to the team at In The Wash, drying your washing indoors can be problematic: "Keeping moisture-filled laundry in your living spaces doesn't just encourage mould and dampness, it can also lead to respiratory issues, and wet laundry can be a bit smelly too.

The bedroom is one of the rooms you spend the most time in." They note that the additional moisture from the laundry is a recipe for trouble: "Given the fact that wet laundry encourages mould growth, dampness and potential health issues it would be better to keep it out of a room you spend a lot of time in." Furthermore, bedrooms commonly lack strong ventilation, often missing extractor fans, and residents are unlikely to open windows during the colder months, reports Bristol Live.
