As the weather outside turns colder and wetter, many people will be looking for alternatives to hanging their clothes on the line to dry. But one popular method could be costing you money.
A plumber has warned that by putting your damp clothes on the radiator to dry after washing them you are unnecessarily increasing your energy bills, RSVP Live reports. And that could be a bigger issue than ever this year as households struggle to deal with the cost-of-living crisis.
Jordan Chance at PlumbNation said: “We would recommend that you stop using your radiators to dry your clothes. The clothes that you place over the top of your radiators prevent the heat from escaping and heating your room, meaning that your boiler has to pick up the slack and work at a greater rate - increasing costs.”
