    Thanks OP, always really good to hear what works.

    Never thought of the putting things out in the cold - am def going to give this a try!!

    We don't often get this type of blisteringly cold but dry weather for days on end though do we? It's not rained here for a while, more than 2 weeks from my memory. We've also got a very cold wind which I definitely think has helped to air them.

    Anyone here use the term ' Foisty ' to refer to this problem.
    My in-law family in Norfolk do. I had never heard of it before!
