GETTING laundry dry inside at this time of year can seem like a mammoth task.
Especially when the majority of people are doing their utmost to keep energy bills down by not using the tumble dryer.

But one woman took to Facebook to rave about the clothes drying pod that costs her just 25p an hour to run[/caption]
So it’s no wonder they’re turning to other ideas and suggestions for getting their wet washing dry inside in the autumn and winter.
And one woman – a huge fan of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch – took to Facebook to share her store find, which she insisted is a laundry game changer.
“Any tips on drying clothes quickly that are on an airer when the heating is not on?” one person asked in the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group.
Yvette was quick to reply, as she wrote: “One of these costs me around 25p an hour to dry the clothes.
“And that’s all it takes to dry one big load of washing!
“Game changer.”
She also shared a screenshot of the exact drying pod she’d picked up for £55 from Dunelm.
And the positive reviews kept on coming on the Dunelm website, with one person writing: “Works well and I really like it having the cover so it keeps everything enclosed in one place so easy to dry things that can’t be put in the tumble dryer.
“I don’t have to have things hanging round the room making the house look untidy.”
“Great product, easy to use and great value for money,” another raved.
The 800w pod features a “PTC ceramic heating element for reliable performance” and a “convenient 3-hour timer for customisable drying cycles”.
On the Dunelm site, they also said they’d worked it out to be cheaper in cost to run than Yvette had calculated – at just 18p per hour.
Someone else recommended a similar drying pod from Lakeland, writing: “I use a Drysoon and love it.
“Fits loads on it, pop the cover on and turn it on.
“According to my meter it uses about the same as a slow cooker.”
“Lakeland dry soon heated airer. A brilliant invention,” another agreed.

And have you tried the ‘burrito’ method to dry your clothes?
Other people responding to the Facebook post shared their own suggestions, with a popular one being a dehumidifier.
“I’d highly recommend a dehumidifier if you’re drying inside,” one wrote.
“It dries washing quicker but also gets rid of the moisture…otherwise all that moisture from the washing is going into your house and can cause mould spores,” another agreed.
As a third said: “A dehumidifier works really well. I use mine a lot in the winter and much cheaper than a tumble drier!”
