Clothes horse and condensation

[fartypantsmummy]

I have a clothes horse which I try to use so I don't have to use the tumble drier for so long. I put items on it overnight BUT every morning there is condensation on my windows. I wipe it off with a tea towel every day but is this the best way to use a clothes horse? I put it outside every day I can but not a chance during the winter. Any ideas - I don't want a damp problem?

I would use it during the day or when you're around so you can have the window open.

If you are using a clothes horse, I think you need to have the window cracked open to let the air circulate.

Use a dehumidifier next to it. The clothes will dry far quicker and you won't have any condensation.

If you leave washing out like that you'll get mould. Either windows open or dehumidifier.

We use a clothes horse and a dehumidifier. Less electricity than a tumble dryer.
Also if you are running the heating during the day, maybe hang up the washing in the morning rather than overnight, you might get less condensation that way as the house is warmer.

If you've an electric fan, put that on cold and point at the airer, leaving a window beyond ajar very slightly.

My flat has condensation every day regardless if washing is drying or not. When outside is colder than inside it happens. Obviously if you are cooking or drying then there will be more. Long as you are airing in day and wiping it off it’s good. Dehumidifier can also get rid of it faster if don’t want the heating on or windows open when it’s freezing.

Dehumidifier in winter, also allows clothes to dry much faster too. In summer, we keep windows/door open
