So why is it considered unhealthy to dry using radiators?

When you hang wet clothes on a radiator or clothes horse to dry, the water evaporates out of the fabric, where it turns into moisture in the air. Too much moisture in the air leads to condensation, which can form on walls, windows, mirrors or any other surfaces which the damp air comes into contact with.

Modern homes are often highly susceptible to condensation, as improved insulation, draught-proofing and double-glazing mean that, while they retain heat better, air ventilation is poor. This leads to stale air and trapped moisture, which can be both unpleasant and unhealthy.The additional moisture in the air from drying your clothes inside can lead to damp conditions in your home, which could in turn lead to mould growth.

Black mould can cause health problems, particularly of a respiratory nature, as it releases spores into the air which are then breathed in. It can also cause damage to your home, starting with staining paint and wallpaper, which may start to blister or peel.

I remember that one Azure. Who wouldn't?

Do you remember this one,Longdogs?

Azure, Are these paintings that you have done? They are lovely!
(I hope you are keeping well!)

Thanks Omah.

I know it’s supposed to be very unhealthy and ruin the radiators but l do dry stuff on them! Well, maybe air them more than dry them!
Usually, knickers, false eyelashes and drying stamps (mainly years ago!)

Do you use your radiators to dry anything or do you use a drier of some sort?
