Switching the heating on may be one of the biggest topics this winter, as households grapple with soaring energy prices and bills. Appliances that consume the most energy, according to Energy Saving Trust are wet appliances that include washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers.
These big appliances are also giant energy guzzlers, accounting for 14% of a typical energy bill. One way to reduce bills can therefore be using these appliances less frequently.
Some retailers have come up with an alternative to the traditional tumble dryer. As reported by Manchester Evening News, Lakeland's Dry:Soon Drying Pod can be used in place of a tumble dryer or radiator.
