Did you know?

Whenever and wherever possible hang your clothes out to dry, as tumble driers are one of the most expensive electrical appliances. If you are drying indoors, don't put your clothes over a radiator. This stops the heat from reaching the rest of the room. Put up a clothes rail in an unheated room opening the window to reduce the risk of condensation. Shut the door to stop heat being drawn into that room.
