How to dry clothes indoors without damp problems

Short answer: Drying indoors releases a lot of moisture into the room. Air the room while the clothes dry, and do not dry them in the bedroom.

The moisture has to go

One machine load releases several litres of water into the room. Without airing it ends up in walls and windows. See washing and care.

Not in the bedroom

The bedroom is already the room with the most moisture from the night, because you release moisture while you sleep. Dry the clothes somewhere else, ideally with a window ajar.

Air around the pieces

Hung close together the clothes dry slowly and can start to smell. Leave space between the pieces. See bamboo underwear for men.

Press the water out first

Roll heavy pieces in a towel before hanging them. That halves the drying time. See bamboo towels.

Heavy things flat

Knitwear and heavy jumpers should lie, not hang. See bamboo bedding.
