Shorter days are here, and while we’re looking forward to curling up on the sofa in front of quality TV, being surrounded by damp washing is no picnic.
When the weather’s bad, there’s no choice but to hang your washing indoors. Combined with central heating, it can lead to a muggy indoor environment that makes winter far less fun.
Tumble-drying your laundry is one option, but it comes at an unappealing cost - especially with energy costs as they are.
There is a way to keep the air inside clean and easier to breathe with the help of a modern tech marvel: the dehumidifier.
Offering a simple solution to the question of domestic damp this winter, dehumidifiers draw away moisture in the air making staying in an altogether more pleasant experience.
The thing is they don’t exactly come cheap, except around one time of year: Black Friday.
When is Black Friday?
As luck would have it we’re in the Black Friday sales zone right now, with the official date on November 24.
Black Friday is the one time of year you can guarantee discounts on products across the board, including on things like dehumidifiers. It’s the best time to invest in one before we get into the thick of winter.
How to choose a dehumidifier
If you’re considering getting a dehumidifier, be mindful of storage space first and foremost. You’ll want somewhere to keep it once the weather warms up in the spring. For large homes or houses with high ceilings, look for a machine with a generous water tank so you’re not having to empty it every few hours.
If you’re only planning to use it in a small area or you live in a small home, a smaller, portable dehumidifier should suffice. Whatever size you opt for, look for low-energy and low-noise options to make your chosen dehumidifier a seamless part of your house’s set-up that won’t add too much of a burden to your bills.
