    We have a Dyson Air purifier fan and heater and use that to help dry the clothes and also use it to ventilate the bedroom at night too. As I mentioned before the part of the property that have cold walls don't have windows / radiators, the hallway front door is wooden and single glazed and the contractor said even the slightest bit of condensation will cause mould on these walls. We are doing all we can to keep the property heated and ventilated, bearing in mind we have electric storage heaters, even if we cook or shower it will cause condensation because the flat is small and will travel to those cold walls quickly.

    Its nice to have a £500 fan but what you really need is a £100 dehumidifier, to actually remove water from the air.

    I have no idea how you use the dyson to "ventilate the bedroom" what do you mean by that?

    Is the a fan in the bathroom? Is it automatic?
    When drying the clothes do you close the door to keep wet air in that room?
    The drafty front door probably helps ventilate the house, or it would be covered in condensation.
