There’s nothing worse than wet washing in the autumn. As temperatures cool and storms continue to ravage the UK, finding ways to dry washing indoors can be tricky.<\/p>\n
Many people use their tumble dryers, heated clothes airers or clothes horses to dry their washing indoors.<\/p>\n
One way to speed up drying clothes in the tumble dryer is to use dryer balls. Dryer balls prevent laundry from clumping and can reduce drying time.<\/p>\n
Dryer balls come in a plethora of sizes and materials but are most commonly made from wool.<\/p>\n
I tested out a new dryer ball – the Boss It Rapid Dryer Ball – and it was surprisingly effective.<\/p>\n

To put the ball through its paces, I decided to stop the dryer’s cycle early to see if I could reduce the drying time.<\/p>\n To use the nifty gadget, I simply popped the ball into the dryer with my washing and chose a reduced drying setting. It’s important to make sure the ball is not used in the washing cycle if you have a washer dryer.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> The Boss It Rapid Dryer Ball shaved a whopping 20 minutes off the drying time of my bath towels.<\/p>\n Since tumble dryers are not the cheapest appliance to use, this could save me a lot of money in the long-run.<\/p>\n When drying my bath mats, I managed to finish the cycle 30 minutes early which really surprised me.<\/p>\n The noise level of the Rapid Dryer Ball will depend on the size of the load. When drying my towels, it sounded similar to using wool dryer balls.<\/p>\n When drying the bath mats, it was slightly louder because there was less material to muffle the sound of the ball hitting the drum. However, I didn’t find the sound particularly noticeable.<\/p>\nLynsey Crombie shares hacks for drying clothing<\/h3>\n
