Drying towels in winter

[Andersonx3]

How do you all dry your bath towels in winter? We have no dryer so it's usually a radiator job which I hate doing because it heats upstairs up so much!

Radiator job here. I also wash them less often because I'm a slattern.

Heated aired and also with the dehumidifier on.

I hang them on the banister upstairs

I'll get them out on the line if it's dry and/or windy, even if only for an hour or so to take some of the wetness out of them. Then it's over an airing frame/hung over a door frame or over the bannister. Then into the airing cupboard.

When the washing machine has finished I but it on again for another 1600 spin. Only wash if at night if I know it’s going to be dry the next day, then still put on the line. Then finish off in the tumble dryer. But the double spin really does help.

Double spin and then in the DriBuddy air dryer, because I don't have radiators.

Hang them over the doors, and radiators

Drying wet things on radiators causes damp! Never knew this until I got a load of rising damp and the damp expert that came told me.

I have a (old, but effective) heated airer from Lakeland. It costs something like 3p an hour to run and will dry towels quite quickly - has the added bonus of meaning I rarely need to put my heating on as it keeps upstairs toasty ready for bedtime! I imagine newer ones would be more efficient, mine is nearly 9!

Dehumidifier overnight in bathroom with laundry works great. It takes a bit over 8 hours depending on how many loads are drying at the same time.

I use smaller towels. Dry them in the hot press/airing cupboard but I've got a walk in one. Also wash them less. And I don't wash all the towels together - wash a couple with more easily dried things so there isn't a lot of heavy laundry to dry.

Teobeo I hang them on trouser hangers or generally get creative using the bars at the top.

On an airer in the dining room with a dehumidifier next to them.

I put them in the dryer the same as I do the rest of the year

Extra spin, hang on trouser coat hangers in doorways. Now have a dehumidifier which speeds the process up.
