In winter, the rain drums against the windows, and you are tempted to hang your laundry inside. However, this harmless habit could harm your health and your home. Why so many warnings against drying laundry indoors? It is not just a question of comfort, but a real issue for your well-being and your home environment.
Excess humidity dangerous for your interior
Imagine a room where a fine, invisible mist is constantly floating. As your laundry dries inside, it releases large amounts of moisture into the air. The result? An atmosphere conducive to the appearance of mold on the walls and ceilings, not to mention the dust mites that proliferate in these conditions.
What are the signs of high humidity?
Excessive condensation on windows
Appearance of black or greenish spots on the walls
Persistent bad odors
Feeling of heavy air and difficulty breathing
Mold is not just an aesthetic nuisance: it releases spores that can cause respiratory problems, especially in sensitive people (asthmatics, children, elderly people).
Adverse health effects
Air that is too humid promotes the proliferation of allergens. The result: sneezing, nasal congestion, eye irritation and chronic fatigue. Worse still, excessive humidity can aggravate conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.
