Is it dangerous to get moisture on my hairdryer?

Question

I leave my hairdryer and straightning iron in my bathroom and they get a bit of moisture on them. I give them a wipe over before plugging them in.

I know you aren't supposed to get your hairdryer wet, can moisture be just as bad?

Before you say it - I do keep a privacy window open while using the bathroom at all times. I don't have one of those ventillation thingis in the ceiling.

Answer 1

It should be ok as long as it is not dripping wet. Put it on the floor or a lower shelf when you shower, it will get less condensation on it.

Answer 2

As long as it has a built in emergency shot off circuit in it ( almost all sold now do), on of those things that says test a reset. It will shut off before it can do any harmto you. That's even if you droped it in the tub or something. ( not that you shold try that.

Answer 3

If you havent been zapped yet, Chances are i think it must be fine!

If your really concerned, Get a small clear tub with lid or a plastic bag or somthing to keep them in whilst not in use. That way they'll stay dry :)

Answer 4

VERY BAD if you plan to live.
