Drying laundry indoors this time of year can seem like a monumental task.

Especially when the majority of people do their utmost to keep their energy bills low by not using the dryer.

So it’s no wonder they turn to other ideas and suggestions to dry their wet laundry indoors in the fall and winter.

And one woman – a huge fan of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch – took to Facebook to share her store find, which she insisted would be a laundry gamechanger.

‘Do you have any tips for quickly drying clothes hanging in a drying rack when the heating is not on?’ someone asked in the Mrs Hinch cleaning tips group.

Yvette quickly replied, writing, “One of these costs me about 25 cents an hour to dry the clothes.

“And that’s all it takes to dry one big load of laundry!

“Game changer.”

She also shared a screenshot of the exact drying pod she picked up from Dunelm for £55.

And the positive reviews just kept coming on the Dunelm website, with one person writing: “Works well and I really like having the cover so everything stays in one place so it’s easy to dry things that aren’t in the tumble dryer.

“I don’t need things hanging in the room that make the house look untidy.”

“Great product, easy to use and great value for money,” raved another.

The 800W pod features a “PTC ceramic heating element for reliable performance” and a “convenient 3-hour timer for customizable drying cycles.”

On the Dunelm site they also said that they had calculated that it would be cheaper to use than Yvette had calculated: only 18 cents per hour.

Someone else recommended a similar drying pod from Lakeland, writing: “I use a Drysoon and love it.

“It fits a lot, just put the lid on and turn it on.

“According to my meter, it uses about the same as a slow cooker.”

‘Lakeland dry-fast-heater. A brilliant invention,” agreed another.

Other people commenting on the Facebook post shared their own suggestions, a popular one being a dehumidifier.

“I would highly recommend a dehumidifier if you are drying indoors,” one person wrote.

“It dries the laundry faster, but also removes the moisture… otherwise all the moisture from the laundry will get into your home and cause mold spores,” another agreed.

As a third said: “A dehumidifier works very well. I use mine a lot in winter and much cheaper than a tumble dryer!”
