    I inherited a small freezer last year & put in in the big cupboard in the utility room.
    I put my washing on top of it to air it. :D

    I've also got a glass topped oven which I use to air washing when the oven is on or after it's been on.

  • Not sure if this is the correct forum for this so apologies if it is not.
    I hang my laundry out from late spring to autumn. There comes a time of the year though that, no matter how ideal the day seems for drying, my laundry is not much drier when I take it in. I am not keen on using the radiators.

    I have a heated airer from l*keland, it was a big initial outlay (about £90 I think) but now I Never use the tumble or radiators and we are a family with 3 teenagers, so a lot to cope with. It also drys the stuff you can't tumble which is great, I think it costs less than 5p per hour to run and does abut 3x loads overnight (a bit longer for jeans though)

  • I have a drysoon from Lakeland, I use an airer when the heating is on but for days when it's too wet to hang washing out but too mild to have the heating on I use the drysoon.

    I have a tumble drier but rarely use it. In winter I have a Tidy Dry roll-away laundry line fitted over the bath. I hang stuff in there and with a combination of window slightly open and heat from the radiator, things dry relatively quickly. If you Google Roll Away clothes lines you should come up with various options. think you can also buy the four line models from Amazon.

    Same here.
  • I do worry about condensation using a clothes airer. I like the look of the heated one. Does anyone use this in the garage?
    The over the bath one would be the best choice for an unheated one I think. But still looking at Amazon for suggestions so far:)
    Thanks all

  • At the moment because the heating isn't on and when it's too rainy to hang out, I use a combination of airer, tumble dryer and airing cupboard. When the heating is on then I use the rads and try to get away without using the TD.
