I dry clothes on unheated radiators or over dining chairs etc.But how long does it take to dry at room temperature?
depends how much moisture is in the room your drying clothesBut how long does it take to dry at room temperature?
There ok but you have to keep turning clothes over especially if you don’t have a cover for it.Changing subject slightly but what about the heated drying racks ?

6 pence and hour to run allegedly. Ive no idea what the kw price was when that statement was made like.
I know how you feel,as an ex housing inspector for the council, I have gone through the same thing every winter for yearsThe amount of times I've been to houses where tennants are complaining about damp/black ceilings and walls only to find they dry three loads every day on the radiators.
Trying to explain to them that five litres of water off each load is condensing on their bedrooms ceilings and walls is a ballache, they all say the same thing, 'what am I supposed to do, I've got 4 kids and can't afford to run a dryer 24/7'.
Open a few windows, use a dehumidifier or hang them on the line.
- 'i want me bedroom ceiling plasterin!'
I'll lend you a trowel you fat 2@
They not as good as advertised. Yes they don't use much electric. But if you use every rail you'll find your clothes will get a damp smell.Changing subject slightly but what about the heated drying racks ?

its slightly dearer than that and you need a small room to dry the clothes . but yes its at least one third the price of tumbling.
I heard they leave clothes damp? If they do work I might buy one as you're right they don't use much energy.I brought a heat pump tumble drier, to replace my 20 year old tumble drier, they are supposed to use less energy, doesn't seem to use that much , looking at my smart meter.
I've not found that, they take longer to dry stuff than a normal tumble dryer as it runs at a lower temperature.I heard they leave clothes damp? If they do work I might buy one as you're right they don't use much energy.
