Arghh so I decided that as i'd just come back from the launderette with a load of tumble dried washing that I'd do a touch of konmari-ing on my chest of drawers. Knickers went great, so did socks and tights. Then I pulled out all my t shirts and leggings and seemingly at random lots of them seemed to be covered in this funny brown mould and felt damp. Cue having to throw away some perfectly nice t shirts.
Now I think I know why this has happened. I live in a titchy flat and my landlord has only provided me with one "electric fire" in the living room to heat the living room, bathroom and bedroom. I have my own oil filled radiators that I used instead of this, but obviously this is not central heating. So my flat is quite cold and I have been loathe to open windows. So yes, the steam from my shower is probably the culprit here. I have been trying to open windows a lot, lot more recently but it's such a difficult balancing act between airing out the flat and keeping the heat in. Quite often I don't even use any heating in the bedroom and just sleep under a duvet and two blankets.
I have a favourite top which has been ruined and that I have put through the washing machine to no avail. Is there any way I can get the brown mould out? Also is opening windows really the answer to this? Feeling very frustrated right now!
