SHOPPERS are rushing to buy essential clothes drying item marked down by over half price at Lakeland.
The kitchenware chain currently has an offer on Dry:Soon products, and a savvy shopper has taken to social media to share the news.
The shopper posted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group and wrote: “I just bought my second one of these.
“So pleased with the 1st one that I got last week I want another to help with the endless amount of laundry that comes with 4 children between 11 weeks and 9 years old!
They added that Lakeland, where the heater was bought, had an offer for £15 off the Dry:Soon products, and it was already reduced from £129.99 to £64.99.
The product is essentially a clothes drying cabinet.
It has a powerful 1200W fan at the bottom which heats the air to around 65 degrees and blows it up into your clothes.
With space for up to 12 pieces of clothing, it holds up to 10kg of laundry.
There is also an optional timer which can be set for up to six hours.
With the discount and the DRYSOON15 code, the savvy shopper managed to get the product for just £49.99.
“Having tried the heated rail version by the same brand I personally find the fan version much more effective,” said the shopper.
They also revealed it costs just “36p an hour to run”.
And with free delivery also offered by Lakeland, snapping up a second one of the cabinets was a no brainer for this shopper.
Comments from other shoppers flooded the Facebook post: “I have this and can highly recommend…. Put it in a room you want to heat up and it can heat the room as well as dry your clothes”, said one person.
“This looks good”, commented a second person.
A third person said: “I have the Lakeland dry pod and it costs about 30p an hour to run and I can dry a lot of things in about an hour!
“It’s fab. And also heats the room it’s in. I got mine last year from Amazon for £70 but think they’ve gone up a bit since then.
“Deffo worth a purchase for the winter months and doesn’t shrink clothes like a tumble dryer.”
A fourth person commented: “Just ordered one.”
How can you get your washing dry when it's raining outside?
DEALING with the British weather isn't ideal when it comes to trying to get clothes dry outside. But fear not, if it's raining then there are a few hacks you can try to get your laundry dry inside the house.
Curtain poles
If you put your clothes on hangers to dry, you can then hang the clothes from a curtain pole. This is an effective hack, but it’s important to make sure you’ve got a window open too, to promote ventilation and avoid a build up of mould.
Airers
There are a whole host of airers on the market, but the popularity of heated airers have risen dramatically in recent months. Many people swear by using a heated airer to get clothes dry quickly and evenly, without racking up loads on the energy bill by using a tumble dryer.
Dehumidifiers
While the main point of a dehumidifier is, as the name suggests, to reduce humidity in the room, they also work a treat to get clothes dry. In fact, many of the little machines have a laundry setting on them. And once again, using a dehumidifier won’t break the bank either, as they’re very energy efficient.
Radiator cocoon
If you’ve got your heating on, then creating a cocoon with a fitted sheet and your radiator can be a game changer. Simply place one end of the fitted sheet over the radiator, and place the other end so it’s entirely engulfing the airer. This will dry your clothes quicker, by keeping the hot air inside the cocoon, rather than letting it all escape.
Spin it
The majority of washing machine cycles end with a spin, but you can always give your laundry an extra spin before taking it out, to remove as much moisture as possible before you hang it up. It’s a hack that loads of people swear by when it comes to drying clothes inside.
