Clothes Washers/Dryers & Mold

I have just posted the chapter on Clothes Washers and Dryers for everyone that has made a contribution. Front load clothes washers are notorious for growing mold around their door gasket. But the vented clothes dryer can affect mold related indoor air quality more than any other appliance.

1. The exhaust vent is supposed to direct moisture laden air to the outdoors. Unfortunately they are often hooked up in ways that fail and cause mold to grow.

2. Dryers located in moldy environments can also increase the amount of contamination being pulled from hidden locations by creating a depressurization of the area.

3. The contaminants can then be sucked into the clothes dryer where they are redeposited on the laundered items.

In addition to discussing how to clean and operate vented clothes dryers to minimize these issues, I will also be discussing Unvented clothes dryers (also known as condensation clothes dryers) which are very popular in Europe and are beginning to be introduced into the United States.

This new chapter section is now up and available for contributors along with the already posted chapters or updates:
