Where to dry wet clothes?

We have a combined washer drier. I only use the shortest time for the drier. Everything comes out very slightly damp and is dry overnight.

I love the smell of clothes dried outside so hang washing out whenever I can. Failing that, I have an airer which I use in the kitchen, adjacent to a radiator. As soon as clothes are not actually dripping badly, I tend to hang them on hangers and hang them from the wardrobe doors just to finish them off - with the bedroom window open. I do have a tumble dryer and use that occasionally for bedding or towels if the weather is inclement.

Tumble what I can everything else in spare bedroom on aired with window open if the weather is OK.

I hang washing outside even in Winter as long as its dry out mostly its dry enough to iron or air in the airing cupboard. If its wet out it goes on the airer in the kitchen overnight I close the door so any dampness is in the kitchen I usually open the door first thing anyway. Duvet covers hang over the banister upstairs with the landing window open. Shirts on a hanger in the bathroom the window is always open in there..

You really shouldn't dry on radiators it will make the walls damp however careful you are.

Agree with bags that ventilation is key, we always have windows open, even in winter (okay, sometimes they're open just a tiny bit).

Firstly I hang washing outside for as long as possible - there's a load out today. We live in a small house in a London suburb, therefore the condenser tumble dryer in our garage is a must. I don't leave stuff to tumble for hours, usually it's 90% dry when I take it out of the dryer and spread it around in the spare room for final drying for an hour or so. I have been known (when we have guests in winter and bedding to wash) ...to hand it in at the laundromat!

Well we have a dehumidifier in use, and we bought something which tells us the humidity of the room, but the walls do sometimes feel wet in the box room after we've hung clothes to dry. The dehumidifier is good for the condensation on the windows though.

We have a pulley thingy in the utility room which I use almost exclusively but I use the drier for jeans and down filled stuff. I use my pulley all year as our garden is so small that we decided to remove the garden twirly completely. If I want to dry outside I use an airer.

Long things go in the shower. Others on an airer in the conservatory which has a de-humidifier on a timer a couple of times in the night to deal with the condensation. Works most of the time. Just love days I can dry outside.

We have a wider than average garage and I have a drying rack in there. I do not own a tumble dryer, and never have.

Guilty M,lord !
Most things go in the tumbler if I can't hang them outside. Just one or two things such as bras and some tops go on the airers that hook over the top of the little used dining room radiators.

Humidity where I live is always very high. A bit more from washing isn't going to make much, if any, difference in a centrally heated house that is also well ventilated. Ventilation is the key.

Clean washing shouldn't be emitting spores. I think it is fungal spores that can be problematic for asthmatics, not water vapour. I suppose the perfumes in laundry products could be too but I only use perfume-free products because my skin doesn't like aromatic stuff.

Thank you for reminding me that there's a done load of washing in the machine since yesterday!

I have an airer type thing that stands over the bath and I put tops on hangers and hang from the shower rail and leave the door ajar. I always add a long spin to the wash to ensure that it's as dry as possible before hanging and everything dries easily overnight including towels.

I can't stand laundry draped all over the place on radiators - it's also not good for your health, particularly if the room is not well-ventilated.

I have a combined washer/dryer and the drum is quite small so only use the dryer as a last resort

We have a wooden aired which can be hoisted up to near the ceiling, most things dry overnight. Before that I had an aired in the spare bedroom. Where does all the moisture go? Supposedly not good, especially for asthmatics?

Two pulleys (or gnus, as I call them), one in the front room, one in the hall. Stuff dries overnight.

I have a german style airer which folds out to the sides and takes two full loads of washing. It's either in the breakfast room in front of the radiator or in the conservatory. We also have a dryer,but it has not been used in over a year. After DS kept putting one item at the time in it DH took the fuse out and told him it is broken

I use a fold-out airer near a radiator in a spare bedroom. Duvet covers get draped over the bannister where they get the heat rising from the wood-burner. My DD has one of the heated Lakeland airers that works well.

I have what in Scotland we call a "pulley" in our quite big (heated) utility room . It runs virtually the whole length of one side and I can dry everything from socks to duvet covers on it. I do use my tumble dryer though for towels and DH's vests and pants or the dog's bedding and similar thickish things. Could not cope without the pulley!
