  Is it ok?
  
  Back in the army, they said if you dry clothes indoors and sleep near it may not be good for you...
  
  Is there any medical or scientific evidence?

  I never hang my clothes out to dry in the sun. Never in my entire life.

  I think the fear is that clothes laid to dry indoors may not dry fast enough, leading to the growth of mould or fungus.

  Don't think the moisture from evapourating water is that significant.

  This is my take...
  
  In NS, the guys don't do the area cleaning properly and their buckets don't dry properly.
  
  These are environment where bacteria thrives.
  
  You imagine when they do laundry... its on a wash basin where their platoon mates spit and brush teeth. There is always residual bacteria.
  
  The amount of detergent they use is too minute as they are handwashing on a basin that drains too easily. So their sweat and basin water don't really get flushed.
  
  So they are hanging a piece of wet clothing that hasn't really been washed.
  
  Wet = good condition to grow bacteriaa..... somemore the bacteria is a mixture of platoon mate's saliva.
