IT'S that time of year when it\u2019s no longer convenient to dry our clothes outside on a line anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thanks to harsh weather and high energy bills many of us are trying to figure out a way to dry our clothes quickly and affordably.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
If you find yourself in a similar predicament your solution might be a dehumidifier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dehumidifiers are typically used to help get rid of damp in homes.<\/p>\n
People normally use them to keep their homes damp-free while drying their clothes inside the house.<\/p>\n
And the best part about them is they are very cheap to run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One shopper rushed to Facebook to share the game-changing method she had developed.\u00a0<\/p>\n Taking inspiration from Martin Lewis, the shopper said she started using a dehumidifier to wash two loads of clothes in just four hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cToday I took delivery of a dehumidifier unit. It was one recommended by Martin Lewis as a good way to dry washing in the winter months.\u201d<\/p>\n The shopper explained the dehumidifier came with a laundry function.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She said: \u201cIt has a laundry setting in fact and is much less energy-thirsty than a tumble drier. I was very excited and did two large loads of washing to put it to the test.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI put it all in my wc, small room as it makes sense as would draw out the moisture more efficiently in a smaller space. <\/p>\n "I set the dehumidifier going. It was a mixed load, a variety of fabrics and thicknesses, from pants to towels. 4 hours. All dry.\u201d<\/p>\n The post racked up over 3,000 likes and 723 comments and Facebook users said the gadget was a game changer.\u00a0<\/p>\n One user said: \u201cI agree. My humidifier warmed my house as it takes all the cold water out of the air.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI have done this for years,\u201d claimed another.\u00a0<\/p>\n A third user claimed: \u201cI brought mine a month ago best thing I ever brought.\u201d<\/p>\n A fourth said: \u201cThis is probably the best advice I've read in weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n The savvy shopper said she bought a Meaco Arete dehumidifier that can hold around 12L of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n These are quite pricey at \u00a3190 in Argos, but Meaco reckons a dehumidifier of this size costs just 5p an hour to run.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you're looking for something a little cheaper Currys has a Daewoo Dehumidifier for \u00a359.99, these are a bit smaller so would be suited to smaller rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n Currys says it helps prevent condensation and damp and comes with a two-year guarantee.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget as well there is always the option of a non-electric dehumidifier.<\/p>\n Similar to electric dehumidifiers, they work by sucking extra moisture out of the air, but these have the added bonus of being completely free to run.<\/p>\n Most supermarkets sell these online and in-store for a few bob, Savers even have a deal where you can get three for \u00a32.79.<\/p>\n Here are some other insulation hacks you could try this winter.<\/p>\n Draught excluders are another great hack, they stop cold air coming in from underneath draughty doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can get some for as little as a fiver in most stores but a thick blanket rolled up will work just as well.<\/p>\n Other things that can help include not leaving your clothes to dry on radiators, and always cooking with ventilation.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HEAT HACK <\/span><\/p>\n
