Overview
- Multiple UK outlets republished guidance urging households to use dehumidifiers to dry clothes indoors during the colder months.
- Laundry expert Mark Walker of Denver Wash and Fold, quoted by The Express, says dehumidifiers speed drying and lower indoor humidity that encourages mould.
- Posts in the Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group report faster results than heated airers, with some users claiming drying takes half the time.
