As UK households watch the cost of living crisis soar, people are desperate for ways to save on their gas and electricity bills.
However, one savvy woman has come to the rescue with her top tips on drying clothes without using a tumble dryer. Glasgow Live reported that one Mrs Hinch fan has revealed a way to dry your clothes quicker, using the thing that made them wet in the first place - the washing machine.
The extra spin in the machine stops people from using the tumble dryer, which is an expensive appliance to run. Posting in a Facebook group dedicated to Mrs Hinch lovers, one person asked: "Tips on drying towels and clothes when they can't be dried outside, please? I haven't got room for a dehumidifier."

One smart woman gave her opinion on how to dry clothes quicker, as she claims all you have to do is stick the washing machine on for an extra spin cycle to get rid of as much water as you can. The savvy saver wrote: "Extra spin, put what clothes need to be on hangers and hang them up at the window with the window open. Put the rest on the airer and put that at the window. Towels I tend to put over the door."
Lots of other Facebook users also agreed with this piece of advice, as many also said that if they needed to use the tumble dryer, it was a ten minute cycle and no more.
One person posted: "I do three spins with each load. I have a three-floor house and dining room so put clothes to dry everywhere. [They're] dry by the next morning. Bath towels dry over bannisters and [then I] put them in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes. It will soften the towels as they come out rough."
Another added: "With towels, I usually give them an extra spin or two before hanging them out. The more space in the washing machine drum, the better."
While a third noted: "I do an extra spin then [put my clothes] on coat hangers on the shower rail, and over the bannister for bedding and towels."
Others shared different methods on how to dry clothes and towels quickly, including swapping your towels out and buying a heated airer.
Someone said: "Microfibre bath towels. I changed ours a few weeks ago. Best thing ever! Dry so fast."
Another suggested: "If you have a heated airer you can cut the drying time (and therefore the electricity bill) if you chuck a big sheet, duvet cover or coats or towels over the top of it. It traps the heat and everything dries quicker!"
