| Nov 4, 2019 at 12:32 | comment | added | Gamora | @FunnyJava it is a consideration, but it's rented atm and already has mold from the previous tenants | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 12:29 | comment | added | Caius Jard | @Graham actually, you really want a (condensing) tumble dryer, because it's designed for purpose and cuts out all the health risks of generating excessive amounts of moisture in the living space | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 12:26 | comment | added | FunnyJava | Are you sure you want only the quickest way, not minding e.g. mold developing into your house because of the moisture? I always hang laundry outside because of that (not that it's the only source of moisture that can cause damage of course). | |

| Nov 4, 2019 at 10:37 | comment | added | Graham | More of a comment than a hard fact, but you really want a dehumidifier. I've got two small ones which are about the size of 3 shoe-boxes stacked on top of each other, and they are more than adequate for a 3-bedroom bungalow. And dehumidifiers plural are generally better - you can remove damp from the house more effectively with smaller ones in high-humidity areas than one big one somewhere central. Don't buy one which has a wall-wart power supply though, because they won't do anything. You want a proper mains-powered one with a proper compressor. Mine were £70 each, so not too pricey. | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 9:37 | comment | added | Chris H | @Michael the OP is in the UK where wet central heating is commonplace - radiators are full of water at about 60°C, and unless the coating is chipped corrosion shouldn't be an issue | |
| Nov 3, 2019 at 19:38 | comment | added | Michael | Not sure what you mean "straight on the radiator". Are you sitting wet clean clothes directly on top of a hot radiator? I would hope that's not a fire and/or corrosion hazard. | |
| Nov 3, 2019 at 9:57 | comment | added | M.Mat | My only suggestion is what I ended up using. A mini washer/spin dryer that runs on AC power that I can convert to solar for use off-grid. Works great. Small loads but whatever I spin comes out nearly dry and takes about an hour to dry completely inside, on a drying rack in 68 F small cottage. | |
