It's easy in summer - you just stick them on a line outside and they come back bone dry and fresh-smelling from the disinfectant effect of the sun (the sun is the most powerful germicide in the world, thanks to the ultra-violet rays in the spectrum).
But what to do in the depths of winter, when it is cold and damp outside? Most people then use a tumble-dryer, but it not only takes a long time for it to dry clothes, but uses a huge amount of electricity. And it's a horror story when the silly thing develops problems.
You can dry clothes outside in the winter, but only during daylight hours, using the wind to dry them.
There are always the old-fashioned airing cupboards, which were usually in the same place as the immiersion water heater, which gave off heat.
You can also get a clothes-horse and place it in a small spare room with a radiator. Invest in a small de-humidifier (about £100) and place it in the same room. The de-humidifier is a must. Drying clothes indoors builds up moisture in the house.
