Easiest: Put the washing in one room, close the door, open the window.
Best: get a mechanical ventilation system. Ideally MVHR, perhaps decentralised, in some room(s).
Consider an air-to-air heat pump, perhaps just for some rooms (relatively cheap & easy to install, now with grants).
Recent research showed that a huge proportion (87%) of Brits rely on hanging wet clothes inside their homes – and they’re unknowingly causing serious issues.

A study by the University of Manchester found that drying a wet load of washing indoors can release two litres of water into your home.
The mould truth: Expert warns Brits of one common habit that brings damp into their homes
As winter returns, and households dry laundry indoors, new research suggests this is contributing to dangerous mould problems in the home

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

Wrestle the BBC from the pernicious influence of it’s historic right wing, rich bias. Finally make it independent, politically neutral.

You can not let it’s perceived global ‘trust’ be bought out totally by global plutocrats.

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis.

Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?
