My hack dries the laundry quickly and leaves it smelling great without a dryer or heater
Drying your clothes in winter can be expensive and/or time-consuming.
One woman shared her free hack that will get your laundry dry in no time.
The quick trick was shared on the Facebook page Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips.
One poster asked her fellow cleaning enthusiasts for their favorite techniques for “drying their laundry this winter.”
“With rising energy costs and two children I can’t afford to run the tumble dryer and plan not to leave the radiators on,” she explained.
“I have a drying rack, but it can hold maybe one wash and take a whole day to dry.”

Facebook users shared their favorite hacks in the comment section of the post.
Many people had the same advice, which not only keeps clothes dry, but also smells fresh.
“I’ve been putting laundry out all year round,” one commenter wrote.
“It may seem to only dry outside once [I] put down [my laundry] I think it dries faster on a drying rack.”
Another person added that this method helps give your clothes “that wonderful outdoor freshness.”
“I may be old fashioned but I still dry mine outside on the clothesline when I can,” said another person.
“I keep an eye on the weather forecast and work around it.
“Even if you only manage to get it partially dry, it’s easier to finish it indoors on a drying rack or something similar.”
“Normally, [I] I’ll find a day to wash and dry [the] outside line,” said a third person.
“Our winters don’t seem as cold, wet or humid as they were in the 50s and 60s.
“[I] Always manage to dry and then air dry outside and then put on a clothes rack to finish it off.’
Others shared how they ensure their clothes are protected from the elements.
“We have a pergola that my husband built during lockdown, which is covered, so I’ve been hanging my dishes under it,” another Facebook user shared.
‘It works so well [I] Assume you can do the same with any covered area outside.”
“I put a clothes rack in my greenhouse,” another commenter wrote.
“[It] dries quickly and [there’s] no chance [it] get wet when it rains.”
