- eloisius 3y agoNot sure about GP’s setup by I accidentally have a drying closet too. It’s quite common where I live. There is a cold water clothes washer next to my bathroom. In the bathroom there is a retractable clothes line (just a wire in a spring reel and hook on the opposite wall). I have a dehumidifier in there which must run 24/7 anyway or the house will mould. Just put to wet clothes on the line, put the dehumidifier on clothes drying mode, and close the door. Doesn’t take long for the clothes to dry, and my things last much longer than when I was in the US and used a tumble drier. Not to mention my t-shirts don’t get all misshaped.
- imp0cat 3y agoOh that's clever. We dry our clothes on a rack in the corner of the livingroom (the added humidity is a bonus here, because otherwise we would have to run a humidifier all the time), but this (esp. the folding of the dry clothes) generates quite a lot of tiny dust particles which are kinda annoying.
- neom 3y agoWe have the same drying closet! Except mine is on purpose, but that is hilarious!!!! I've never met anyone else who puts a dehumidifier in a closet to dry clothes. I actually do add a tiny amount of heat (space heater on low) as I very much don't want any smell.
- forgotmypw17 3y agoI mentioned using bronners, but most of the time I just wash my clothes with just warm water. What I have noticed is that when I do this, my clothes no longer develop a mildewy smell if I forget them sitting wet. They still come out smelling clean (i.e. not smelling.)
