Ventilate the room : open the windows at least 10 to 15 minutes a day.

Drying laundry in winter: mission possible!
Winter makes drying clothes more difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. If you can’t hang them outside, here are some techniques to reduce drying time:
Slightly increase the temperature of the room where the laundry is dried.
Create a draft by opening two opposite windows for a few minutes.
Do not overload the clothes dryer so that air can circulate better between the clothes.
How long for optimal drying?
Drying time varies depending on humidity and temperature. Indoors, it can take anywhere from 6 to 48 hours . To speed up the process, remember to wring out your laundry as much as possible before hanging it out to dry .
Adopt the right reflexes!
Drying your laundry indoors may seem convenient, but it exposes your home and your health to avoidable risks. Dry outdoors or in a tumble dryer whenever possible. If you must dry indoors, ventilate and use a dehumidifier to maintain healthy air.
