Condensation On Windows & Drying Clothes

Irishbird353

Hi,

That time of year again that I hate...have to dry clothes indoors and now we have a baby so even more clothes. The problem is that we have a well insulated house with a vent in each room. We also have A rated double glazing downstairs and in the spare room we dry our clothes on a clothes rail and a good bit of moisture forms on the lower window beading and trickles down onto the window cill and some mould has formed on the wooden wardrobe.:mad::mad: We have a moisture trap that we bought in Woodies on the window cill...you know the ones that you fill with crystals that absorb moisture and falls as water in the tray beneath but it's obviously not doing enough.Can anyone suggest anything we can do to help as using the dryer isn't an option financially?

Also in the 2 bedrooms upstairs we have velux windows only and they are about 23 years old. we hope to replace them next year but at night a lot of condensation forms on the glass and some mould appears also...really not great for the nursery Can anyone suggest a good fix to tide us over the Winter. We put the heating on as much as we can afford but you know yourself the price of oil!!!!:eek:
Thanks for any advice.

Do you have any sheltered places outside, like a carport or a shed that you can leave the door open, stuff will dry very slowly but at least most of the moisture will evaporate out before bringing them back in to finish off the drying inside.

If you could buy an electric dehumidifier it would pull the excess moisture out of the air. You'd get one for a couple of hundred euro and it would be well worth it. There's a thread on them here already.
