Thankfully, mum Natalie Catling has found a free (yes, you read that right) way to dry her clothes in her home – without any creases.
Instead of using a traditional airer, the cleaning whizz revealed on Tiktok that she actually hangs her clothes on her curtain rail as she waits for them to dry.
Unlike other bulky alternatives, this hack makes use of existing space in her home.
If that weren’t impressive enough, hanging the clothing above the radiator also helps any creases to drop out when you do decide to turn it on.
She also have save time, as the busy mum pointed out that she won’t need to rehang her items before they go in the wardrobe.

In fact, another cleaning fan revealed how you could repurpose your desktop fan to help get your clothes drying faster and your home smelling fresher.
Originally shared by Tiktok star @geo.cleans, it involves propping your fan by an open window and aiming it towards your wet washing.
According to the influencer, this helps to circulate the air in your home and dry it faster.
This will also prevent any annoying musty smells as because the moisture will evaporate quicker and prevent any bacteria from breeding.
For those worry about being left out in the cold by this hack, you can prevent your home from losing valuable heat by closing the door as your laundry dries and adding a draught excluder.
