Martin Lewis' trick to dry clothes costs 7p an hour and doesn't use your heating

As smart meters tally up the pounds this winter, most households are looking for ways to save energy and therefore cash. While we have already seen some clever hacks from various money savers, we are always on the lookout for more, and financial guru Martin Lewis has come up with the latest. He has highlighted a way to dry clothes indoors - without using the heating- at a cost of just 7p an hour.

Good laundry drying days get fewer as we head into the winter months, and many people are shunning tumble dryers as a way to get their clothes dry. Martin Lewis's highlighted method of drying doesn't involve putting your entire central heating system on but may mean that you have to buy an extra appliance if you don't already own one.

The consumer champion was speaking on The Martin Lewis podcast, according to Yorkshire Live, and explained that by using a dehumidifier instead of central heating, you could dry clothes at home for just 7p per hour.
