Alternatives for drying your clothes in winter

Use a clothes dryer in a well-ventilated room

Toss your clothes on a clothes dryer in a well-ventilated room or near an open window to allow moisture to escape. To speed up the process, you can place a fan nearby.

Invest in a dehumidifier

A dehumidifier is a great solution:

It absorbs excess moisture released by laundry,
It prevents problems related to humidity, such as mold or unpleasant odors.
Take advantage of outdoor solutions

When the weather permits, hang your clothes outside. Even in cold weather, the fresh air helps dry clothes and prevents moisture from building up inside your home.

Use an economical dryer

If your budget allows, opt for a modern, energy-efficient tumble dryer. Some models have gentle cycles to protect your clothes while drying efficiently.
