With the cost of living crisis squeezing budgets, households are looking high and low for ways to cut back on their energy use, particularly when it comes to tumble dryers.
Although the appliance is a godsend when clothes are slow to air dry in winter, dryers are high energy users. Brits will be weighing their convenience against soaring fuel bills, but those reluctant to cut them out completely can still make savings.
According to one electricity expert, dryer balls - which can be picked up for just a few pounds - reduces drying times by up to 20 percent. The simple hack works by making the warm air circulate better, helping save both time and money, reports Plymouth Live.
