    @Ultrasonic that's why I was looking at some faster options indoors like an electric heated indoor dryer but never trust Amazon and other reviews lol.
    Either get an air rack like Ultrasonic suggests, plus a dehumidifier, or a dehumidifying air dryer (it has a tent thing over the top). A good one will probably cost you £150 which you will save in about five months from not using the tumble dryer. 
    Everyone is overcomplicating this IMHO. I use JUST an airer as I shared a picture of. A dehumidifier is not necessary as far as I'm concerned.
    It does depend where you live, I live in a well insulated flat, without the windows open (usually in winter) there is not a huge amount of air exchange, drying lots of clothes on an air dryer without a dehumidifier would result in damp issues. 
    Amount of washing and size of property are presumably factors too. I have though dried clothes indoors in many properties and genuinely never seen damp issues as a result, as distinct from bathrooms where I often have.
