Air Drying Clothes In The Same Room As Piggies

[Mezzle2121]

Hi so I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I will be having my cage in my second bedroom. We also dry our clothes in the same room on an airer with a dehumidifier underneath the clothes.

Could this cause any health issues for my piggies ?

I have my clothes airer in the same room as my pigs and it hasn't caused any issues. I think it's only if the air is constantly damp that is causes problems. If you have the dehumidifier on underneath it should be fine - but make sure it's not set too high otherwise it could dry out the air too much if it's not turned off once the clothes are dry

What kind if level would you suggest for the humidity ?

My dehumidifier has a gauge and guide lines not to set it below 35% if it's going to be left unattended as the withdrawal of moisture can damage things

I have air conditioning at home and one of the units is just above the cage... I try to keep the inner temperature at 24-25°C and the humidity goes down to 40%. Consider that Rome is wet and outside we can have 40°C...
