DRYING laundry inside can become a nightmare, especially if you’re short on space or trying to lower your energy bill.
A Mumsnet user wanted some advice on how they could get their washing dry, “very fast” but with “limited space” in their property to have an airer hanging around.

The post asked for washing drying hacks for a small space
The post read: “Any idea for drying laundry very fast and with limited space?
“I cannot have a tumble dryer, I do not have space for airer.
“I cannot spread my laundry due to limited space [and] the place is not sunny or airy.
“I can only put my laundry in a basket or something and I need to dry it there.”
Several people replied to the post with advice or suggestions.
If using a local laundrette isn’t an option, PotKettel recommended: “Do a second spin when the wash cycle is finished.
“Hang T-shirts, skirts etc on hangers and hang them in doorways.
“You can iron clothes when they are still a bit damp.”
Sarahcoggles also said put freshly-washed clothes on hangers was a good way to get them dry: “I hang mine on hangers from the curtain rail which has a radiator underneath.”
Someone with the username RampantIvy commented: “My airer sits on the bath.
“I plug the dehumidifier into a power socket on the landing, and the cable is long enough to wheel it into the bathroom.”
And Arapawa seconded this idea: “If you have a bathtub or a shower with a shower rail, hang your laundry on hangers on rail.
“Buy a dehumidifier which will dry your clothes in a couple of hours at a very in-expensive rate plus dry your home therefore heat it up.”
Redglitter also “doesn’t have a lot of space” and explained how their “airer spends a lot of time in the bath”.
They added: “One of my colleagues just recently got an old-fashioned ceiling pulley.
“She says it’s a game changer.”
A ceiling pulley was a popular suggestion with peplepue commenting on how they use one.
The comment read: “We have a ceiling pulley and a dehumidifier with a clothes setting. It’s amazing we have it set up in a cupboard.”
