Dehumidifiers enough for drying clothes indoors?

[SlimmingMumOf1]

So it is pouring it down outside and I've had three washing loads to do so unfortunately, I have to hang them inside! Last year I had terrible mould problems in all my storage cupboards and bedrooms. Everything was full of mould! Cleaned it all with bleach and left the room to air for a few days. We've had warm weather since then so I've managed to hang it outside.

I've got these to put in each of my storage cupboards and in the rest of the rooms in my flat:

They do a good job. They are getting moisture inside them and I have to change it about every 7-8 weeks! If I dry my clothes inside, will they still stop moisture and damp from forming? I'm so worried it is going to come back! I haven't got room for a tumble dryer (and don't fancy paying so much electric for it!) and laundrette is too expensive

Not that sort of dehumidifier, no. I speak from long experience of similar issues.
You need a electric dehumidifier. They're about the size of a small electric fire. Argos, B&Q etc stock them.

Have you got space for something like this?

@Knittedfairies I already have one of them! Mine looks smaller than that one though and it doesn't have a cover. I got it from Home Bargains! I'm going to look into that one. Thank you!

@thedevilinablackdress I don't have space for an electric one :( maybe for a small one but does that mean I'd have to keep emptying it out every 5 mins?!

God no. Once a day, if that.

I think you need a proper dehumidifier. Put it on overnight and it will also heat your house if you need that. I use one in the winter time to dry stuff as a tumble drier is quite limited as to what you can dry.

I have the DD8L but there are lots of other options. They get very good reviews.

We have a small electric dehumidifier than we run in the winter. I use airers and a tumble drier and there's all the steam from the bathroom too. It runs on a timer and isn't expensive to run. I empty it every few days.

If you are going to dry washing indoors and ventilation is poor (as evidenced by the damp), a dehumidifier would be a wise investment. The ones you're using aren't up to the condensation that you're talking about - they're for caravans or unused bedrooms, I'd have thought. And they're a huge use of plastic, but you might not be as bothered about that as I am!

You need a proper dehumidifier from B&Q or Argos. A decent one is around £200 but I got mine from Gumtree for £60 so keep a lookout on Gumtree or EBay. It should come with wheels so you can move it around the house. You will be amazed at the amount of water that it collects!

You need a proper dehumidifier. I have a small Trotec one which is excellent: I use it in the bathroom in winter and it will easily collect a litre of water a day. Expect to spend £100 up if buying new, the price depends partly on the size of the room you need it for.
