Why You Shouldn't Dry Clothes on a Radiator: Most People Don't Even Know

It is no secret that in the cold season, due to the lack of a dryer, washed clothes from the balcony are moved to hot radiators.

At the same time, the desire to quickly put on dry jeans or a blazer overcomes common sense.

The whole point is that this seemingly safe method is fraught with negative consequences for the home.

The thing is that regular use of radiators as a place to dry clothes leads to an increase in humidity in the room.

As a result, an unpleasant odor appears.

The “aroma” of dampness will not only hang in the room, but will also permeate dried trousers, dresses and T-shirts.

In particularly severe cases, mold may develop.

At the same time, negative consequences arise much faster if you fold things on the radiator in two layers, because in this way you not only save free space, but also increase the drying time.
