Overview

• New guidance highlights the towel-rolling “burrito” technique to absorb excess water before hanging, speeding indoor drying without switching on heating.
• Consumer experts advise an extra spin in the washing machine, wider spacing on racks or hangers, and a desk fan to boost airflow and reduce drying time.
• Dehumidifiers and heated airers are presented as cost‑saving options to pull moisture from the air, with users urged to follow product instructions for safe use.
• Homeowners are told to wipe away window condensation each morning to stop damp patches that encourage mould growth on cold surfaces.
• The advice is framed by rising energy costs as households look for alternatives to tumble dryers and radiators during cooler, wetter weather.
