Brits have been told of a secret way to help dry their laundry without using costly heating. Dehumidifiers work by sucking moisture out of the air, leaving more room for the damp from the clothes.
They are also great for getting rid of condensation, dampness and mould which can come from drying laundry in the colder months, BirminghamLive reports. They also work out cheaper than tumble dryers.
A good dehumidifier will cost just 1.2p an hour to run. This compares to around £1.30 an hour for a tumble dryer.
