Martin Lewis urges people to try dehumidifier instead of tumble dryer to dry clothes

Consumer guru Martin Lewis is urging people to consider using a dehumidifier to help dry clothes inside your home.

As temperatures drop across the UK, many people are worried about putting their heating on as energy bills continue to rise. However, Martin Lewis says there's a way to dry clothes that could save people almost £200 a year.

On his podcast, Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis suggested trying 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.
