Any suggestions for drying washing indoors

I have a rotaire too but also need a dryer as there are so many of us.. I love it though

I work from home and therefore have the computer on during the day in my small office. Just wondering if it would be workable to bring in the clothes to the office and use the computer heat to help dry to clothes?

Would it help or would I be better off having the window open and try to catch a breeze outside?

Thanks xx

If your computer will dry your clothes then I would suggest it may be overheating:eek:

Lol, yeh!

The computer fan is sending on warmish air which is enough to warm up this tiny office in my tiny 2 bedroom terrace house. Not as hot as a made out but the point is, will the room being warm help or should i just open the window?

What do you currently do?

If the room is being heated by the computer then of course it will assist in the drying but where will the moisture from the clothes go?

Bit of fresh air never goes amiss.

Hmmm...well my computer creates a level of warmth in the room its in too - and I dont think its overheating (the couple of computer-literate friends who've helped me get it sorted out havent said so anyrate).

Dont know about drying washing - and that would make for a very cluttered workspace to work in wouldnt it? I know that I dont feel the need of using so much heat in that room in the winter - after an initial morning session of central heating on then I find that just the odd "blast" from my halogen room heater suffices on all except the coldest days - so it saves in that way.

and there was me thinking that phrase " there is one born every minute " was just an old fashioned saying. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

They would be on the clothes horse and away from the desk so it seems fine.

Everything goes in the tumble at the minute.... Needs to change.

Personally I'd be a bit wary of doing this- a couple of years ago I got one of those pull out lines to put in our garage as that is where our boiler is and it feels warm when its on.Last year the boiler stopped working and when the plumber had a look he said there was moisture on the circuit board,but nothing was leaking,couldn't understand it until DH told him about my MS scheme to dry the washing.It was causing condensation,and over time had caused the damage.Wouldn't want your computer to go the same way...
