Jane’s post was inundated with comments from fellow Mrs Hinch fans, but the most suggested solution was overwhelming: use a dehumidifier.<\/p>\n
Trish Algar said: “Last year, I bought a Meaco dehumidifier. It’s just fab. Only use the tumble dryer for sheets and towels.”<\/p>\n
Linda Sweeney replied: “Dehumidifier, wish I had bought one years ago for drying the washing.”<\/p>\n
Carol Bayliss commented: “I bought a dehumidifier after reading about them on here\u2019 it works really well.<\/p>\n
“Give the washing an extra spin on the highest spin speed, place items on my two clothes horses in the spare bedroom, and don\u2019t overcrowd.<\/p>\n
“Put the dehumidifier on and close the door, washing is dry in about six hours and it doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg. I do have a tumble dryer but only use it for underwear and towels.”<\/p>\n
Ann-Marie Pearce wrote: “I have a dehumidifier with Laundry Mode. It’s fabulous. Some items are dry in less than an hour.<\/p>\n
“I like to hang laundry outside when the weather is good, but for indoor drying, this is brilliant. I’d never be without one now. I don’t have space for a tumble dryer.”<\/p>\n
According to Ideal Home<\/a>, dehumidifiers dry clothes in four to five hours, but this will vary depending on the laundry<\/a> items, the type of dehumidifier you own, how ventilated the room is, and the temperature.<\/p>\n Some dehumidifiers have a ‘laundry mode’ designed to maximise moisture removal from the air and help dry clothes indoors.<\/p>\n This mode can speed up the drying process by circulating air faster and running at a higher extraction rate.<\/p>\n Meaco’s 20L Low Energy Platinum Dehumidifier and Air Purifier includes a laundry mode and is approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute. It retails for \u00a3228.90 from Meaco<\/a> and \u00a3239.95 from B&Q.<\/a><\/p>\n Meaco 12L Low Energy Platinum Dehumidifier is slightly smaller and also has a laundry mode. It retails for \u00a3180 at Argos.<\/a><\/p>\n However, one person who bought the 12L Meaco dehumidifier from Meaco’s website claimed it didn’t “make any real difference” and were “disappointed” by its performance.<\/p>\n
