Drying washing indoors

I think a lot depends on the house. My MIL lived in a 60s semi with single glazed windows and she lived her life battling against black mould on the windows. Condensation was behind it of course and you need cold surfaces for this to occur. Mould grows on surfaces. So an insulated house with reasonable ventilation (trickle vents on the windows etc) will not, i guess, be a breeding ground for mould spores. Very very few houses are unventilated. Once, I let some people try out a process where you check for this - called a pressure test. They attach a huge fan to the letter box and blow air in and they can tell how airtight it is. Turns out in this newish house there are lots of gaps where air escapes.
People emit a lot of water vapour, as do gas flames and of course cooking processes as well.

Well that's good news, Bags - because at the moment, I have my (not very small) knickers drying on the radiators...!

Yes, it was a surprise . He's good at stuff like that. If I expected anything, it was a replacement, sometime (birthday, christmas), for the small gadget that I already have but which keeps cutting out. He got me that when the ME payback started being a nuisance – I was pretty sure that changes in atmospheric pressure affected me quite noticably. The wee barometer seemed to support my view and even seemed to show that my built in barometer was more sensitive than it!

I'm assuming ( never assume ) that it was a surprise from your DH, in which case, how lovely!
for your weather station.

I have always thought that the air in centrally-heated houses was too dry!
I don't have a choice about drying washing indoors in Winter, but it has never bothered me.
