Do you have any fan? It should help a bit, but you still have a problem with ventilation since your windows are steaming up. Do you air the rooms?
If you dry it in a tumble dryer, the moisture in your clothes will not be in the air. However, even drying laundry "on a string" in a room should not cause the windows to fog up in a properly ventilated room.
You have the answer regarding the dryer above.
I have a dryer in the bathroom and no moisture.
The fan is in the bathroom and I have moisture all over the apartment, it is not due to the evaporation of the glass but the running water. I try to ventilate the apartment as often as possible, but there is definitely a problem with the ventilation.
But that's not the point, I was interested in whether the dryer would worsen the problem and I conclude that it might even help a little ?
There is a choice with or without a pump.
Thank you for the answers, best regards [
Hi,
If you have a severe moisture problem then I would suggest finding the source first. Somewhere something is probably leaking, if I had to guess, maybe the roof, gutters, maybe some pipes, or maybe you just cook / dry laundry on radiators - the last two things, with poor ventilation or no ventilation, are the worst, but also the easiest to fix. If you have plastic windows, make sure they have the ventilation flaps open - unless you have older plastics, then slightly open it. In the old days plastics were advertised as airtight and it was emphasized as an advantage, but this advantage is not because you turn the apartment into a closed jar without air exchange.
A lift over the stove also helps, but not one with a filter that is supposed to magically purify the air and release it back into the room, only one that draws the air outside.
ok, now about dryers. I lived happily for many years and I never really bothered hanging things outside. I had a washing machine there, a hotpoint aquarius dryer and it was ok in total, but after 6 years it fell - it was a condenser dryer and during drying the water condensed and was pumped out to the drain, and a certain amount of heat and moisture was given to the room, we bought indesit, also a washing machine dryer, mainly due to lack of space, the appliance was nice by the way and matched the rest of the kitchen equipment. as a washing machine it worked so-so, as a washer dryer it was tragic, and as a dryer it was even worse. after which drying it started to give out such a chemically foul stench that it was impossible to endure. we have only used this as a washing machine since then. after less than a year, the driver went crazy, and the washing machine was full of water in 3/4 of the drum's capacity and ... well, the tiny handle that blocks the door from opening turned out to be too weak for that amount of water. flooded kitchens, corridors, stairs, etc. drying took a few weeks. It cured me for the rest of my life with indesita, and since then I have been looking for something for a couple for the closing method and the material from which the hinges and locks are made. The washer / dryer concept is ok, but it has to be something really well designed and built.
Some time ago she bought a Miele dryer with the T1 series (condensing with a heat pump and a moisture sensor) and after using it several times (there was not only a LOL dryer) I was really impressed - this device really works. and is very economical to use (grade A ++). I ended up buying a slightly higher model from the T1 series and sometimes I wonder how I could live without it. clothes are always dry, nothing has broken (ok, the contents of the account definitely at the beginning), everything smells good, it's not rumpled or damaged and I don't have to wonder what the weather will be like before I do the washing. the dryer lives in a storage space under the stairs, does not give up any moisture or heat to the air. The filter is removed and cleaned very easily, it can be connected to the sewage system and it is not necessary to empty the water container. it's a bit loud, but I can live with it. I thought about it Beko, but somehow I didn't want to experiment. Beko have a lot of positive opinions and I think that due to the price they are much more popular than Miele. We will see how much it comes from - ex has been going non-stop for almost two years, so I think there will be no problems for some time ...
Write down how the fight against moisture is going :)
Greetings
