Now that the weather is getting warmer and the days longer, try using free solar and wind energy to dry your washing rather than using your energy hungry tumble drier. You don’t need a big garden – even pegging your washing on a clothes horse outside will do the job. It is estimated that UK tumble driers emit 5 million tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere every year. Your washing will smell so fresh, and you will save somewhere between £100 and £300 per year.
Worried about the vagaries of the British climate? You can buy a cover for any rotary drier that means you don’t have to worry about whether it will rain while you’re out, and even allows you to dry your washing outside more or less all the year round. Costing from around £40 the Rotaire Dryline will typically pay for itself in unused energy within 6-8 months.
