Can laundry drying indoors increase humidity?

Yes. As laundry dries, large amounts of water are released into the air. If this moisture is not ventilated or removed, humidity levels can rise quickly.

Which dehumidifier is best for drying laundry?

For laundry rooms and basements, a dehumidifier with a high airflow, top-mounted exhaust and high dehumidification capacity is the best choice. If you’re drying laundry in the basement, you should buy the Wood’s LD series; it’s designed specifically to dry laundry whilst removing all moisture from the basement.

Why does the laundry room get damp?

As the laundry dries, large amounts of water are released into the air. Without dehumidification, the humidity rises, which can cause condensation, musty or sour odours, and mould.

Does laundry dry faster with a dehumidifier?

Where should you place a dehumidifier when drying laundry?

Place it in front of the laundry and direct the top outlet towards the laundry. The dehumidifier will then blow the laundry dry while removing all excess air from the room.

Why does laundry smell sour after drying?

If laundry smells sour or musty after drying, it is often because it has dried too slowly in a room with high humidity. When clothes are damp for a long time, bacteria can start to grow in the fabric, creating the sour smell. Using a dehumidifier in the laundry room or the room where the laundry is hanging reduces the humidity and the clothes dry faster.
