AN appliance repair tech has shared a warning against a viral home heating trick that many are convinced by.<\/p>\n

She explained that it's a recipe for disaster and can create mold and DIY-ing the recipe yourself can even be worse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Renae (@renduh) shared her disapproval of the heating trick with over 690,000 TikTok followers.<\/p>\n

She reacted to a video recommending using a clothes dryer to vent the air.<\/p>\n

"Do indoor dryer venting kits exist? Absolutely but those kits are designed to keep the heat and humidity contained," she said.<\/p>\n

While the trick can work very well, she added a huge caveat to the advice given.<\/p>\n

"When you pump hot and humid air into an enclosed space, you know what grows really well in humid, enclosed spaces? Mold, it's mold," she emphasized.<\/p>\n

She also warned against DIY-ing an indoor dryer kit, especially if you own a gas dryer.<\/p>\n

"That's just going to make a lot more carbon monoxide," she explained.<\/p>\n

For those who have exhausted their options, she said the method was fine: "If your dryer is electric and you are venting it inside because you have no other option, that's okay," she said.<\/p>\n
