TRYING to figure out the best place to dry clothes indoors after the warm summer days have been doing the job for us can be a difficult one.
This includes making sure rooms don’t become too damp with the never-ending washing pile.
It can also be a real pain if you don’t have a tumble dryer or you’re trying to keep energy bill costs down as much as possible, including using minimum heating.
But if you’ve been struggling to know what to do with your wet clothes indoors at home, look no further.
According to smol, the plant-friendly home cleaning product brand, there is one place that seems to be ideal for drying the washing.
Where is the best place to dry clothes indoors?
The experts advised: “Position your drying in rooms where you spend the least amount of time, for example the bathroom.
“You want the space to be well-ventilated so you can avoid allergic reactions, mildew or mould on fabrics or in your home from all the extra moisture in the air.
“Open windows are the best way to allow fresh air in.”
When it comes to suggesting where you should hang your clothes, smol says to “invest in a sturdy clothes airer, ceiling-hung clothes maid or wall-mounted rack.”
How you can reduce your energy bills
They added: “[It's] far better than draping your clothing over bannisters, doorways and off the back of chairs; get yourself a dedicated rack and try to position it in a warm area of the home.”
You should also use clothes hangers on drying racks to make more space (which will also limit the amount of ironing you have to do).
By remembering to rotate your clothes every few hours, you won’t end up with some parts drying quickly whilst other sections remain damp when it comes to rounding up all the clothes to put away.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
