The Claire Byrne Show · Leaving your clothes in the washing machine too long · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

So, you know, a particular like load of cotton laundry will have about two liters of water in it, and that needs to be evaporated and and passed somewhere else.

So when we put that on a closed horse indoors,

We haven't made the water disappear.

We're kind of throw transferring it from clothes to air and potentially to your windows and walls.

So that indoor drying can contribute to kind of condensation and mold in the house if you're not ventilated properly.

So y like I said, do that extra spin.

So but also if it's outside and it's dry, uh like that's still good.

Moving air is is is is really important.

Precisely.

It helps and it's also a zero cost in terms of energy.

Like you're use you don't have to put any energy into this and don't have from a plan from a sustainability point of view, that's obviously way better.

So even though things are colder and there's moving air outside, that can help.

Then obviously you have things like heated clothes horses, radiators and dehumidifiers are the common ones.

Like the the combination of an error and a dehumidifier is the best because you're

You're creating obviously you're you're taking the moisture out of the air as well, whereas on a rad, you're also kind of just trapping it in and around and maybe wetting the wall as well.

So the dehumidifier actually removes the water from the air.

So if you put it in a relatively contained room, have a bit of space, and then that air can be removed.

Sometimes people leave the windows open with the dehumidifier on, which you're kind of like trying to dehumidify the world at the same time.

time so which is not necessarily great so having the windows closed at that time um is great or or even if you have them in a room and you're drying and it's warm inside and you don't have a defumidifier open in the window

Every so often, if even if it's raining outside, circulate the air, get it transferred, and then you can kind of close it back down again.
