Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has told households that there is a much cheaper way to dry their clothes indoors this winter instead of using 'demon appliances'
Money-saving guru Martin Lewis has suggested a clever hack for drying clothes indoors during the colder months, without resorting to the costly 'demon appliance' - the tumble dryer. As winter approaches and outdoor drying becomes less feasible, many households struggle with indoor laundry drying, which can lead to issues such as mould, condensation, mildew, and stale-smelling clothes.
On an episode of The Martin Lewis Podcast available on BBC Sounds, Spotify, and Apple Music, he listed several 'demon appliances' that consumers should avoid, including tumble dryers, which can cost up to £1 per hour to operate. He suggested switching to a dehumidifier instead, stating: "Many dehumidifiers have different wattages – the one I checked out was 200W."
"And you pay roughly 34p per kilowatt per hour. A fifth is 7p, so you're going to pay roughly 7p per hour to run a dehumidifier at 200W, assuming it uses full power the whole time."
