Watch the video: Drying laundry in winter – this is how easy it is to avoid mold in your home.
Tumble dryers are practical, but they are quite energy guzzlers. It is better to dry the textiles on the clothes horse. To prevent mold from forming in winter, you should follow these tips. If you dry your laundry in your apartment, you need to ventilate it regularly – if possible with a draft. Ventilating in the tilt position doesn’t help much. It does get cold in the room, but real air exchange only takes place when the window is open. Textiles should not hang too close together and should not wrinkle, as this delays drying. Shirts and shirts dry best on a hanger. The speed when spinning is also important. The higher the setting, the faster the laundry dries. When spinning, the drum should always be full, but not overloaded, as half-full machines waste water and electricity unnecessarily. By the way: you can dry your laundry outside even when it’s frosty. The water freezes in the laundry and evaporates directly without first turning into water vapor.
