With most households currently looking for ways to keep their energy bills down, many may be avoiding using the tumble dryer in a bid to reduce costs.
But with April showers in the forecast, the unsettled spring weather can make it tricky to get clothes outside on the line to dry off quickly in the sunshine. This means that many people may opt for draping their damp garments over radiators after they've been in the wash.
While this is a common method to speed up the drying process, an expert has warned against covering your radiators with wet washing. This is because the tactic could end up increasing your heating bills, as well as causing damage to your home by triggering condensation, The Mirror reports.
