It's not drying clothes that has caused that. When i was a student i used to be in my flat 20 hours a day, hang wet clothes about and cook. I've not even had to replace dis-coloured wallpaper from it. | |

I have bought a couple of dehumidifiers, will be putting one on my window sill and leaving one in the bathroom, going to be cleaning it off on sunday with some bleach and then the little gadgets will be here so will give them a go | |

I have seen that problem resolved with air vents added... | |

the fact its along the bottom in a fairly obvious line would probably suggest its due to an exterior problem. Id guess at a lack of damp proof course, but couldnt tell without seeing it. | |

It could just be a lack of fresh air circulating...are there air vents? | |

Ive been reading around tinternet, people blame a lot of it on drying clothes and spending a lot of time in the room, but I honestly dont think its that, because to dry clothes I have the radiator on, which means it gets proper hot in ehre, so the window gets opened? So as far as I can see its not that | |

they need to sort this ASAP, can cause illnesses and they are held responsible. Go to the council as well, theyll force the landlord to do something about it. | |

Hi there. I live in a rented student house. I have the downstair bedroom. When i moved in I thought it was musty, thought nothing of it, just thinking it was dust. Ive been moved in for a while and noticed a bit of mould appearing on the window sills and a little on the wall, wipe it off and leave the window on the latch at night to get rid of the condensation. |
