Drying laundry in a closed room is one of the main causes of condensation. Each wash releases a significant amount of moisture into the air. If possible, choose a well-ventilated room, open a window, or use a bathroom equipped with an exhaust fan. Otherwise, limit this practice to times when you can ventilate effectively.

It will gradually absorb the excess moisture in the air. Rice works in the same way and can be a simple alternative.
