Best way to dry tons of washing in the Winter?

[peachcake]

I have stacks of washing with 2 adults and 4 children in a reasonably small house and have 2/3 loads of washing to do everyday, that's fine but drying it is a huge messy problem!!

I use all available rads and tumble all our smalls but the tumble shrinks stuff (gets too hot) and I still end up with piles of washing waiting for rads! i have airers/clothes dryers but the clothes don't dry thoroughly and sometimes get that damp smell which means I have to start again arghhh!

Anyone have any clever ideas, I don't have an airing cupboard & my drying outside is hit and miss at this time of year, help needed please!!

Either go to a launderette to dry some of it, or get a better tumble dryer (is it overheating?) or work out ways of cutting down on washing.

I haven't got a tumble dryer but I find I can get one load of washing dry in 24 hours most of the time hung on an airer - in the winter the central heating dries it and in warmer weather the warmer air dries it. I'd struggle to dry more than that.

I hang my washing on hangers straight from the washing machine then hang them on a clothes rail in front of a radiator they are 90% dry by the morning

I'm always Trying to get my laundry smelling fresh, the tumble dryer is always taking the scent out of my clothes I was wonderin if I put some tumble drying sheets on the radioter and put the clothes over them would it make a difference?

Ocean I'd start a new thread with your question. This thread is 2 years old.

Have you looked at heated airers or a dry buddy? They're a great alternative to normal airers. They dry quicker and don't shrink things. Especially the dry buddy which blows warm air through hanging washing
