avidcameron Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The windows are closed as its cold and windy outside and a draft causes my arthritis to be a pain in the bottom. I'll try a dehumidifier You need to open window briefly-remember you need more energy to heat damp air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaati Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hard not to dry the washing in the house with this miserable weather. I've used clingfilm and taped that around the windows last year (it worked and was cheap). Will prolly do it again this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 We have a dehumidifier now ,problem is they eat electric . Mine is only 390watts and they only run until the moisture content in the location is down to what the stat has been set at. Set at the “normal” position in the bedroom after getting up, mine will run for an hour and then switch off. If one continues to run (in a bedroom for example) either the moisture stat is set incorrectly or the room is extremely damp (or the window is open). 390watts is nothing, maybe similar to a small fridge. A kettle is around 2000watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erebus Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 A person while sleeping breathes out around one pint of moisture, thus two is double that. I suggest asphyxiation would solve the problem, or at least cut it down. Ventilation also helps, so open a window or two and get a better duvet. Fit double glazing. Move the bed from under the window to the garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
