During pollen season, try to avoid drying bed linen outside on high pollen count days, after thunderstorms and on windy days.

Also keep an eye out for mould lurking in your laundry. Laundries can have high levels of indoor humidity, providing optimal conditions for mould to thrive. Good ventilation can help to tackle this, either by using an extractor fan or opening a door or window, to reduce the likelihood of mould or mildew growth.
