It greatly depends on where you live, and season. In my apartment in Bucharest, especially during the summer, clothes dry indoors in ~4h, and a bed sheet takes maybe 6h. In the winter, the time is usually double.
Still, drying clothes indoors has no ill effects, I have no idea where you got this. It's definitely better than exposing them to high temperatures like in most apartment tumble driers.
- krisoft 4y ago> during the summer, clothes dry indoors in ~4h, > drying clothes indoors has no ill effects Maybe the first is why you think the second is always true? Where I live if I just leave laundry on a drying rack it won't dry for days, and once it is dryish it already smells stale and mouldy. I'm glad that it works for you, but maybe the advice differs based on location, climate, maybe even architectural choices.
- simiones 4y agoYou're right, I do understand that if it takes days to dry, the dampness has a good chance of allowing mold to form, and that can be extremely harmful.
- morsch 4y agoThat's literally what they said in their first sentence.
- krisoft 4y agoYes, and no. They started out right and acknowledged that things can be different in different climates. But then in their second paragraph they made a categorical statement: “Still, drying clothes indoors has no ill effects, I have no idea where you got this.” That is a general statement. They don’t think drying clothes indoors can have any ill effects. Ever. At any humidity level. So they realise that the drying time can change quantitatively. What they miss is that there are qualitative effects which can happen too. And in their hurry they dismiss other people’s lived experience.
