WITH the colder and wetter weather well and truly on its way, people are desperately searching for affordable and effective ways to dry their washing.

But if you don't want to fork out a small fortune on your heating or invest in a dehumidifer, then look no further…because Queen of Clean Lynsey Crombie has revealed her easy and free hack to dry clothes inside.

In the clip shared to TikTok (@lynsey_queenofclean), she begins by urging homeowners to make use of curtain and shower poles to hang your clothes on.

The cleaning whizz advises keeping the room well ventilated with the window open and to use a draft excluder to stop cold air escaping.

"So this is a method I've been doing for absolutely years," she explains.

"So simple. Put clothes on a hanger up the window door close, window open, and then I use a draft excluder to stop the air from coming down."

Next, the cleaning whizz notesthat if using your tumble dryer, you can keep it running efficiently by removing the lint.

"The lint is not only a fire hazard but also can slow down drying costing you more money," she says.

Lynsey also says that you shouldn't be afraid to dry your laundry outside – you just need to space it well and get it out early.

"If the path is dry, the washing will dry," she explains.

Next, the cleaning pro advises using radiator racks rather than placing clothes directly on your radiator.

"If your boiler is working hard it will add to your energy bills plus the heat from your radiator won’t be able to circulate and heat the room," she says.

Lynsey also notes that she's a huge fan of heated airers but says you need to get a good one – and recommends anything from the Dry Soon range at Lakeland.

"Don't forget, indoor airers are a big thing now – and I love them for jeans and jumpers," she says.

"And I really love this over the bath airer, which is from Minky, it's great if you haven't got much space – and then there's the plastic airers."

Lastly, she reminds people not to forget that extra or double spin on the washing machine to get that water out.

It wasn't long before the post garnered a whopping 280k views, with hundreds taking to the comments section.

"I always double spin, people think I’m crazy for doing that," wrote one.

A second penned: "Radiator rail hung over the bannisters – warm air rises so I get stuff dried quick this easy."
