Are you looking for ways to dry your clothes without having to splash out on using the tumble dryer ⤵️
Heated airers are drying racks with a heating element that helps speed up the process. They typically use 300W, which will cost 10 pence an hour, and adds up to a £84 saving compared to relying on a tumble dryer.
Another incarnation is the “heating pod”, which are rounder and look a bit like a boiler. These pods tend to hold fewer clothes and are more compact – so better for smaller homes. They also use more power, typically around 1kW of power, which will cost 34 pence per hour. Based on using a drying pod for an hour with each load of washing, a household would save £70 a year compared to a tumble dryer.
It is also a good idea to avoid overloading the machine as this will leave them damper at the end of the wash.The longer you leave your clothes in a washing machine after a cycle is finished, the more likely they will become smelly and possibly even mouldy.
