Yep, my dehumidifier is working overtime, saving me from the black mould that would otherwise plague my flat.

Our house was built in the 1930s,
it's very cold and damp in the end rooms (which unfortunately includes our bedroom) but roasting in the middle. The dehumidifier was one of the best investments we made, couldn't believe it the morning after we got it when the toilet wasn't covered in condensation.

Do you have to pay overtime?

I don’t have to.
But I do, because I’m nice like that.

We had bad mould issues for years
I read that Germans open all their windows for 20mins a day no matter what the weather's like to prevent this, so I tried it and do you know what Aardvark it only fucking works

Bad Mould could be a town in Bavaria, speaking of Germans.

It's why windows have trickle vents...

To prevent mould?
Cool, I'll tell my wardrobe that the trickle vents are open next time it gets mouldy.

it works like this: the vents don't get mouldy, and they pass that advantage on to the rest of the wardrobe. trickle vent economics innit.

I will try that!
Does it have to be in the morning or the evening or just whenever the hell I feel like it?

I was told the German custom was to do it in the morning and evening,
I just do it in the mornings as it is already too cold in the evenings in my poorly inuslated place.
