Invest in a tumble dryer - either ducted to outside, or a condensing type.[/quote]
Condensor dryers are not as energy efficient, and will still add some moisture back into the air - I have a brand new one, is a well insulated, small utility room with an a-rated window - the windows are completely steamed up within 15minutes. I will be changing for a vented tumbler
ASAP
The only advantage of a condensor is that it will heat a room nicely, thus recycling the heat, but at the cost of some moisture.
If you have single glazed windows, tape some cling film over them all to create an air pocket (as per double glazing). its VERY effective. Do it individually over each opening and you can still open to vent etc. You can also buy proper glazing film for this purpose which is tougher, and I believe heat shrinks, so you can use a hair dryer to pull it completely taught.
Bear in mind water will condense on the coldest spots, so by double glazing the windows, you might just move the moisture to the corners of walls and ceilings where it might then be coldest. You need insulate everything in moderation, rather than one thing really well. (the benefit of the windows being colder is they are easier to vent, or clean and dry by hand, where as a wall/ceiling will ruin decoration etc or become unsightly with mould.
