To ask how you dry your laundry these days?

[InsomniacVampire]

We are a household with 2 kids. Shedloads of laundry each week. There is a garden, but it's either raining, or so cold that the laundry comes back wetter than when it came out even in the sun.
We used to own a Drybuddy but it broke and anyways we could not afford to run it now with the cost of electricity. One clothes horse (we dont have space for much more really) in the kitchen does not do the trick as the clothes take a bit to dry...
I do realise there is no magic trick but maybe someone has some creative solutions for this, or also just wants to moan about wet laundry...

Take about five loads of washing to launderette to Tumble dry in their massive machines weekly, costs about the same as a tumble dryer and leccy for that week. Think it would be best to use sports towels, not huge fluffy things.

I never understand how people say all of their clothes shrink. I have always used a tumble dryer and I've never had this problem.

Tumble dryer. I've got one with a large drum so it's easy to whack a load/load and a half in for an hour.

We use a laundrette when it gets too cold/damp to dry clothes outside. Their dryers are bigger than the normal size people have in their homes, so I find I can dry 2 loads in one machine. It takes about 20 minutes on a high heat and costs £2.50. It so much easier and quicker than hanging it all up inside and waiting forever for it to dry and the whole house feeling damp in the meantime.

Bully for you … Queen of Tumble Dryers.

What an odd reply.

I agree with Aquamarine - not sure why people have things shrink in a tumble dryer either, as has never been my experience.

Outside on the line and/or in front of the log burner once we go to bed.

@UsingChangeofName id say their reply to me was odder! I just came on and gave my experience.

I've got a metal wall drying rack, concertinas out from bathroom wall. Get loads on it, dries efficiently as above radiator (did, when I used to put CH on!). I also use a wooden clothes dryer 3 fold rack. But my family is grown, I accept that it must be very hard for families. I had 4, worked FT so relied on tumble dryer, in days of yore before our country was totally fucked.

Throw it on the radiators. Turn once. Takes about an hour.
