IF you are looking for a way to cut down on your bills, fear not, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A savvy woman has revealed that she has found a super simple and cheap way to dry her sopping wet towels and sheets in just five minutes, using a gadget you would probably never think of.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Not only was \u2018The Organised Mum\u2019 very impressed with the simple method, but she also claimed that it cost just pennies to run too.<\/p>\n

Sharing her laundry hack on social media, Gemma Bray explained that she used a spin dryer – like the ones you find in leisure centres – to dry her clothes.<\/p>\n

The bargain hunter posted her clip on YouTube, as she said: \u201cIf you don\u2019t know what a spin dryer is – you will have used one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go to the swimming baths or your local leisure centre or spa, they have that machine that you put your swimsuit in, you close the lid and the swimsuit comes out an awful lot drier than when it went in.\u201d<\/p>\n

I've found an Amazon must-have to dry clothes in winter without a tumble dryer<\/h3>\n

Gemma then demonstrated how she uses her spin dryer, as she added: \u201cThis is the spin dryer, it holds about a 5 kg load.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou lock the lid and it starts doing its thing. It slowly starts off and then it picks up speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gemma also compared how the spin dryer compared to a dehumidifier, as she continued: \u201cThe dehumidifier can only help if you are drying things indoors but the spin dryer, you can use it and then hang [items] on an airer, you can use it and then hang [towels and sheets] on the line, you can use it with your tumble dryer, but when I combined it with my Dry Soon from Lakeland, it was an absolute game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on which clothes drying method she preferred, Gemma confirmed: \u201cFor me, the clear winner was the spin dryer. The reason for this – it gives options.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the amount of money that it costs, it creates more options to getting the clothes dry in different circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can use this all year round, even if I\u2019m drying outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can put something in the spin dryer and put it on the line and it will dry faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you use the spin dryer and then the Dry Soon, it is an absolute gamechanger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m talking minutes – t-shirts drying in minutes, school shirts drying in minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s going to cut down the amount of time you are going to have your Dry Soon on for too.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the two, if you are going to invest, I would personally go for the spin dryer. I was underwhelmed with the dehumidifier.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then explained: \u201cA towel will retain the most moisture – a towel will take three to five minutes in the spin dryer to get as much water out as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gemma later shared a cost-breakdown of each method, as she wrote: \u201cThe dehumidifier uses 0.2kw\/h of power so roughly about 9p an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spin dryer uses 30 watts per cycle (which is about 33 cycles per Kw\/h) – roughly 1.36p per cycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tumble dryer uses about 3kw\/h per cycle – roughly about \u00a31.35.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The YouTube clip has clearly impressed many, as it has amassed over 14,000 views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social media users were thankful for Gemma\u2019s advice and were eager to express this in the comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cThank you for sharing this. Really appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cI love my electric airer. But all these other things sound good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cWow! I was going for the dehumidifier until I watched this! Now I\u2019m going to order the spin dryer and dry-soon!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you fancy giving a spin dryer a go, you can buy one for \u00a3150 from Halfords or Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the spin dryer is a hefty investment, according to Gemma, it is a much cheaper and more affordable alternative in the long run, when compared to a tumble dryer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
