Drying clothes inside

6 replies

Polarbearflavour · 28/03/2018 19:03

I’ve moved to a new flat - unlike my old, modern flat, my clothes aren’t drying inside!

Is it better to buy an electric drying rack or dehumidifier to get my clothes dried and stop the mustiness? And do they use a lot of electric?

I have one of those heated airer a from Lakeland and I love it. If you get the cover it gets things dry even quicker. It's this one:

I don't rate the other shape of heated airers, I borrowed my mums once and it didn't really get things dry any quicker.

Don't bother with the Lakeland drier it's useless.

After reading about them on mn I have just bought the Lakeland heated aired and cover. Very impressed so far! Cheap to run and gets clothes dry.
I'm even more impressed that it only cost me £40 on gumtree!

This is so difficult! I've found that using a dehumidifier is helpful and also keeping the windows open so that the moisture is ventilated properly. Otherwise you could try putting the washing on lots of spins in the washing machine so that it is as dry as possible when you hang it and basically dries over night or in a day or two. I've also found that helpful!
