How do you dry your bedding?

27 comments

1. Clothes drying rack with the dehumidifer next to it in a closed room. Takes maybe 3-4 hours to dry (it’s only a 10l dehumidifer).

2. Airer, as with everything else. Though some of the bedding gets hung up over a door.

3. Tumble dryer (heat pump).

4. Dryer. It’s really not that much electricity compared to other stuff we use all the time. I dry regular washing on an airer either by the hot air vents (yay, 1970s central heating!) or by the woodburner, but big stuff like towels and bedding gets a 45 min run in the dryer first. Otherwise the house is basically full of laundry all the time.

5. I flirt with it. Works on everything else.

6. you wash your bedding

7. Either over a door if it’s wet out, or if it’s a nice day I hang it out the living room window by trapping a corner in said window. (I live in a flat, no garden, no tumble dryer)

8. Clothes horse in the living room (which has the heating on as it’s the room we live in).

   Can take up to a week to dry so need a wash and wear set

9. Like all my clothes – a Sheila Maid that hangs over the stairs. My house never gets damp either.

10. Got it nearly dry on the line this weekend, then put it on a clothes airer at the top of the stairs just to finish it off.

11. around radiators

12. We got one of those old clothes racks in the kitchen ( bought house from an elderly chap), the type that hangs down from the ceiling

13. I use an airer but it’s stone cold in my apartment so it doesn’t even work lol

14. Tumble dryer. But it’s a heat pump, which is relatively low cost to run.

15. Spun in the washing machine twice and then Hung over a door, I live in a flat.

16. On a clothes horse, with a dehumidifier nearby. Depending on temp takes up to 2 days, and I flip it in the morning

17. Hang it over the sofa if no room on the airer

18. If its not raining washing line + finish off on airer if needed.

19. Hang it off the stairs banister. And pillow cases on the airer.

20. I hang mine over shower curtain rail, when the heating is on it dries the same day

21. Fuck that noise. I sleep in full diving suit and scuba gear.

22. Dry, windy (and preferably sunny day): on the line.

    If not, on an airer in front of a radiator. Though as my heating’s low, it ain’t quick…

23. Tumble dryer. While I have tried to curtail my tumble dryer use, I’m still using it for towels and will put bedding and towels in together.

24. Had it out on the line today got it mostly dry, now on an airer in the kitchen with dehumidifier running.

25. Airer, and when the weather allows washing line too

26. Just wait for a dry but windy day.

27. Modern heat pump tumble dryer. Lived for years with a clothes horse permanently in the corner. We saved and bought a very good dryer which uses little electricity, and I’d recommend it to anyone, it really is marvellous.
