A gentle reminder for these colder, damper nights

Even if your flat has a washing machine in the kitchen, you can still use the Circuit Laundry dryers in your building. Drying clothes in your room traps moisture, which can lead to condensation and mould. The dryers are quicker, kinder to your space and better for everyone’s health and comfort.

Why this matters

• Less moisture indoors means fewer mould problems on walls, ceilings and soft furnishings.
• Faster turnaround so you are not living around damp clothes for days.
• Shared spaces stay fresher and easier to keep clean.
• Fire safety improves when clothes are not draped over heaters or lamps.

What you can do this week

• Wash in your kitchen if you like, then dry in the laundry room. That is totally fine.
• Use a full but not crammed load. Overloading slows everything down.
• Clean the lint filter if your machine has one. It helps clothes dry faster.
• Choose the right heat setting. Lower heat for delicates.
• Do a quick spin boost first. A high-spin wash removes more water and cuts drying time.

How to use Circuit dryers in 3 quick steps

1. Load and close the door so nothing is trapped in the seal.
2. Pay and select a cycle using the Circuit app or the kiosk in your laundry room.
3. Start and set a timer on your phone. Collect promptly so others can use the machine.

Prices and cycle lengths can vary by site. Check the Circuit app or the notice in your laundry room for the latest info.

If you must dry a small item in your room

Sometimes you will have the odd tee or socks that need a quick dry. Keep it minimal and do this instead:

• Open the window for a short burst of fresh air. Ten minutes is enough.
• Keep the bathroom door closed during showers and use the extractor fan.
• Wipe away any condensation that forms on windowsills.
