Whether you’re navigating laundry for your entire household or just yourself, it can be difficult to keep on top of the seemingly never-ending chore.
And with the cost of living crisis, most Brits are taking measures to cut down on their household bills.
This includes opting for air drying methods over tumble dryers, which are known to significantly rack up your energy costs.
Product details
Now, The Range shoppers can pick up a two-pack of Indoor Airer Drying Shelves for just £1.99, reduced from £3.99.
According to the product description, these shelves will “make your airer more functional”.
You can easily attach each shelf to your airer, creating more space for drying your clothes.
Manufacturers described the attachments as a “must-have for drying delicate items and keeping smaller pieces together”.
“They’re a perfect fit for the heated airers, allowing you to make the most of your drying space,” the description reads.
They can also be easily rolled up and stored away after use, making them ideal for smaller spaces.
The shelves measure 82 centimetres by 50 centimetres, weighing just 100 grams.
Cut down costs
Marc Porcar, tech expert at QR Code Generator, revealed that your washer-dryer costs an average of £109.35 per year to run.
This is approximately 12% of a typical energy bill.
“The high usage of water and electricity required to heat it, combined with lengthy cycles, makes these appliances expensive to operate,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Ian Palmer-Smith, an appliance expert at Domestic & General, named tumble dryers as one of the gadgets draining your wallet when left plugged in.
It continues to use electricity when plugged in so failing to turn it off between spins could cost you an additional £5 a year.
