If you have the possibility to dry your clothes outside, it would be a good idea to do so. Hanging clothes indoors could lead to problems in the future.
Once upon a time, clothes were hung outside because there was too little space in the house and so much unused space outside. In hindsight, this was an excellent idea because since Italian houses have become larger, but with less space outside the situation, it has been noticed that hanging clothes inside leads to health problems.
Who lives in a apartment without a balcony or terrace you will very often find yourself having to hang out clothes at home. Maybe you can use a guest room that is currently empty so as not to take up significant space, but in the long run this may not be a good idea. It has been noted, in fact, that hanging clothes to dry inside the house, perhaps in winter when the windows are mostly closed, leads to serious health problems. The reason is easily stated: the increase in humidity in the air.
Since we were children our mothers and grandmothers have been telling us to pay attention to humidity in the air. In case of high humidity concentration, a perfect environment is created for the proliferation of spores. This creates fungi, mould, parasites and even some bacteria. Not to mention that one Area with high humidity attracts many mosquitoes, the main cause of the transport of diseases between people and also from other animals to humans. In addition to this, humidity is not good for bones. Too high a concentration of water in the air is absorbed by the bones, making them painful and less mobile.
Because there’s no point putting clothes out to dry at home
According to recent research, putting clothes to dry inside the house increases the humidity concentration by 30%. This percentage worsens especially in the case of periods in which the windows are opened more rarely. In this case, in fact, humidity stagnates inside a closed space, making it perfect habitat for mold and parasites of all kinds. The continuation of this bad habit would very slowly transform your home into a small swamp.

The research was conducted by a team of researchers from the National Aspergillosis Centre of Manchester, UK, and this frightening result came out which strongly reduces the practice of putting clothes out to dry at home. In the winter period that is about to arrive, there is an increasingly tendency to put clothes inside the house without keeping the windows open. Bad idea.
How to dry clothes in winter
The best thing to do even in winter is use a balcony or shutter rods to hang clothes. If you don’t have a terrace or balcony where you can hang your clothes, you can hang them inside the house, but you have to be careful.
The best thing to do is put the clothes on lay out near an open window and keep the clothes themselves for as little time as necessary.
