One hundred per cent! There can be no more water vapour in the air than there is? What does this even mean!

Yes, please do. And remember to leave your suitcases/wardrobe doors open. Mouldy clothes aren't that comfy - they're softer, though.

Please do tell me if I start growing mould under my armpits. I won't take it personally. It's like lipstick on the teeth. You'd rather know.
