Effective laundry ventilation is essential in any home to prevent the build-up of moisture and the problems that come with it. Damp air from drying clothes or using appliances like washing machines and dryers can create the perfect environment for mould and mildew to form. Ensuring you have adequate ventilation in your laundry helps maintain air quality and protects your walls, cabinetry, and floors from long-term damage.

Options for improving airflow range from simple solutions like opening windows to installing mechanical ventilation systems. Ceiling or wall-mounted extractor fans are common choices, especially for laundries located in enclosed spaces. These fans help expel humid air quickly, making the room more comfortable and reducing the risk of condensation on windows and cold surfaces.

If your laundry shares space with a bathroom or kitchen, integrated ventilation systems can make a big difference. Consider vented dryers or heat pump dryers that release less moisture into the room. Also, remember to leave doors open when possible, and check that your dryer vents to the outside if it’s not a condenser model. These small steps add up to a drier, healthier laundry environment.
