MOST of us are still trying to find ways to save money, especially as energy bills continue to increase this winter.
Fortunately, many people have shared their go-to hacks to keep the bills low by not using the money-guzzling tumble dryer while staying on top of laundry.
Many have turned to using clothes airers to dry their laundry without using the electric – but this process can still take days to dry your clothes.
To make the process even quicker, some are using a money-saving initiative by using electric airers with a dehumidifier in the room.
The logic is simple – airers hang the clothes indoors will the dehumidifier sucks up any excess moisture in the air making for speedy drying time.
But one money-saving whizz has shared his go-to method which includes using an electric airer.
Posting his hack to the TikTok account @costoflivingcrisistips – he revealed how to make your towels dry even faster by folding the wings of the airer over the towel once it was hung.
He explained: “If you have a heated electric airer and you’re trying to dry something fast, like a wet towel, that takes ages, what you do is fold the wings over and it will dry a lot quicker.”
This way, both sides of the towel will be getting lots of heat to speed up the drying time.
Some users pointed out a potential safety issue with the hack, with one writing: “It does say specifically not to do this in the instruction, it does work though.”
the clip went viral with over 200k views and many viewers rushed to the comments to agree with the poster’s method.
Othes shared an extra tip to make the drying process even faster.
One person wrote: “It does specifically say not to do this not the instructions, it does work though.”
Another commented: “I love mine and I do this you’re so right.”
Meanwhile many suggested using a dehumidifier in conjunction with the airer or placing a bed sheet on top to keep the hot air in.
A third said: “I do this. I have a dehumidifier as well, both are really cheap to run.”
“I just put a dehumidifier next to it,” claimed a fourth.
Someone else added: “put a sheet over the top to keep the heat in, it will dry even quicker.”
