Martin Lewis' golden rule for anyone drying clothes without putting the heating on

Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has issued a message to anybody trying to dry their washing inside as temperatures in the UK plummet. Britain is currently bracing itself for snow, leaving more people than ever worried about putting their heating on as energy bills continue to rise.

The cold weather has left increasing numbers of people concerned about their energy bills while trying to stay warm and dry their washing inside. Now Martin Lewis has issued a warning that could save people almost £200 every year.

On his podcast, Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis urged people to consider a dehumidifier over a tumble dryer to dry their washing when its too cold to do so indoors. He suggested a dehumidifier which costs approximately seven pence an hour to run compared to a tumble dryer which would cost £1.99 per use. If someone used a dehumidifier 100 times a year, instead of a tumble dryer, this would save them £191.90 a year.
