Some handy advice!
With soaring energy bills, it's now less tempting to throw freshly-washed sheets in the tumble dryer. But with the return of the wet weather, the washing line is also not a very sensible option.
An interiors expert has offered some tips on drying washing inside without resorting to a dryer. She explained how sheets can be dried effectively inside - without causing mould - and still smell nice.
"Many will use an airer, but these can be too small to work efficiently for large sheets. You could also create a beautiful scent by using lavender fabric softener in the washing machine as this will act as a diffuser whilst the sheets dry.”If the banister isn’t practical, then Georgia recommends hanging washing up on doors.
"This is best to do in spare or unused rooms as there is usually more space or it is easy to move furniture around to fit the line. I strongly advise against anyone hanging their linen on doors directly, as often decorators can’t reach the top of doors, which leaves the bare wood exposed and may mean that the wood ‘bleeds’ onto your washing as it dries. There’s also a risk that splinters from raw wood could snag the linen.
"To dry sheets safely, it is essential to open windows a slither even in cold weather as the evaporation needs somewhere to escape and prevents problems further down the line. This is another reason to use a spare room as this can be closed off, so the air doesn’t make you feel chilly.”
