Drying laundry outside in high humidity and wind?
Hello,
I've read that it's best to dry laundry outside when the humidity is between 40-60% and it's a bit windy. Could you also dry laundry outside at 70% humidity?
Until now, I've always dried my load in my small apartment, and that took about 3-4 days, which is why the laundry smelled very musty at the end.
Is it better to dry clothes outside in the warmer air in the fall, or to dry them indoors in the warmth with occasional quick airing? I've struggled with the unpleasant smell of my clothes for a long time and would like to avoid this in the future.

laundry always dries better, the lower the humidity – but it also dries as long as not 100%, it takes only longer; Wind is always helpful.
Try it out. Wind is always advantageous.
As long as the humidity is below 100%, it becomes dry. In the apartment we put a fan next to the dry stand and often ventilate.
If you have the option, you can heat the room for a short time and naturally ventilate. It helps.
We bought an electric dehumidifier with tumble dryer function (there he runs with more power) and it works super in our anyway damp apartment. With us the laundry also smelled too fashionable in winter.
It’s nicer to smell the laundry when you dry it out. At higher humidity, it only takes a little longer.
Inside it is not so good that can lead to mold formation in the apartment.
We have a drying room in the basement for all parties, but still I dry the laundry if somehow possible outside. It has a completely different quality after that!
So except when it rains and storms the laundry is best always drying out?
I’m trying. Above our balcony is the balcony of neighbors, so I hang out the laundry even when it rains. Sure, if it pours in streams and the rain comes obliquely through the wind, then naturally it becomes wet again. Or if it storms, then the clothes will fall around, even not ideal. But before I hang out laundry, I always look after the weather report and usually it works.
Yeah. Wind’s good, but otherwise the laundry will dry outside. It’s like Hein Blöd and puts the laundry in the rain. I don’t trust you.
Depending on the humidity, it takes a longer time, but so far my laundry has always been dry for at least one day.
