When the weather is cold or rainy, as it has been for many recently, drying clothes can be particularly difficult. If you hang washing up outside there could be a downpour, while tumble dryers use a huge amount of energy, which isn't ideal when bills are so high.
You might therefore be tempted to stick your wet clothes on a radiator, but an expert has argued that this may cause more harm than good. Interior guru Owen Whitlock, at Beanbags.co.uk said this drying method could trigger condensation, leading to mould growing in your home, the Mirror reports.
He explained: “While hanging wet clothes over your radiators will dry them, this could cause excess condensation in your home. This will lead to mould which can create all kinds of damage including staining paintwork, not to mention the allergens that mould can produce.”
