As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, finding time and space to dry your laundry can be challenging.
For many families, drying clothes indoors without adequate ventilation can lead to damp conditions. This creates further problems in your home, such as excessive condensation and mould growth.
Fortunately, heated airers and dehumidifiers, like those offered by Igenix, can help prevent these issues before they arise. In this article, we’ll explore best practices for drying your clothes indoors during winter using either a heated airer or a dehumidifier.
How do heated airers help dry clothes indoors?
Heated airers are a great alternative to tumble dryers, especially for households with limited space or those seeking an energy-efficient solution. Heated airers accelerate the drying process when compared to traditional air drying, which helps to reduce moisture in the air. Additionally, the included cover traps in heat and helps to warm your clothes more quickly.
Igenix offers a range of models that you can tailor to your available space, which we’ll explore in detail later.
Can dehumidifiers prevent damp & mould?
Dehumidifiers work by removing moisture from the air in any room they’re placed in. Placing a dehumidifier next to your drying laundry prevents excess moisture from lingering in your home, which can lead to musty smells.
Additionally, dehumidifiers enhance indoor air quality by reducing humidity levels, thereby preventing mould and condensation. Our models also feature rolling castors for easy mobility, allowing you to move the appliance effortlessly from room to room as needed.
Igenix offers a collection of dehumidifiers in various sizes to meet the needs of every household.
Best practices for drying clothes indoors
To get you started, here are some easy tips to incorporate into your winter laundry routine for using both dehumidifiers and heated airers...
- Set up your heated airer in a well-ventilated room and place a dehumidifier nearby if you have one to capture any excess moisture.
- Run the dehumidifier whilst your laundry is drying and for a short time afterward to ensure the room stays dry.
- Avoid overloading your heated airer to allow proper airflow so that your clothes dry evenly and quickly.
- Utilise the cover that comes with your heated airer to trap warm air, which will help speed up the drying process.
By following these best practices, you can dry your clothes indoors while minimising moisture and improving air quality.
