How long do I need to tumble dry my bedding for to get it dried? I normally hang it on the maiden, but I've got people coming round later so don't want it draped all over everywhere! It's a washer/dryer combined so not sure if that makes a difference?

How long is a piece of string!? I have a washer dryer and I can only tumble dry the sheet and pillow cases in one go and then the (king size) duver cover after. It takes about 1 1/2 hours for each go. So...three hours total for my stuff but your stuff might be shorter/longer depending on efficiency of your machine and how big your bedding is.

Thanks, I only neede a vague idea - last time I tried to use the dryer I put it on for 12 mins and wondered why nothing felt particularly dry Smile

also will give you a tip to dry quicker...after 20 mins..take all stuff out and let the steam escape then place back in dryer....10 mins later its all bone dry...

I can't wait to have a stand alone. Or for it to be drying weather!

Put a dry face cloth in with the wet clothes helps drying quicker.

Thanks Anniewoo.

Well, it took about 1.5 hours to dry even with opening the door and shaking the cover to let the steam escape every 15-20 mins! Don't think I'll be rushing to do that again, thankyou for the advice on it everyone!
