LAKELAND is selling a new “drying pod” that removes creases from clothes and could mean you never need to iron again.
The Dry:Soon electric dryer blasts 70C air around your clothes to get them dry within one to three hours.
There’s enough room for 12 garments on hangers and Lakeland says it costs around 15p an hour to run.
The retailer claims it takes around two hours to dry jeans, while it's less than an hour for lightweight clothes.
To use the drying pod, place your clothes on hangers and put them on the rail at the top of the device before zipping up the outside fabric cover.
Switch it on to make the hot air circulate, but don’t forget to use the timer to control how long it’ll run for.
How to save money on energy bills this winter
COLD, winter months are fast approaching.
If you've already got bills on the brain, then here are some simple ways to save you money on energy.
- Switch and save: Use comparion sites to make sure you're on the cheapest deal – and it's quick and easy to do. uSwitch.com or Compare the Market are just two examples of different websites out there. To find yourself a better rate, you'll need to make sure you've got your latest bill to hand so you know exactly what you're paying. Put your details into the comparison site and it'll come up with a list of quotes so you can make the switch.
- Meter readings: uSwitch found almost 1.4 million households could be paying more just because they've never submitted an energy reading to their supplier.It's recommended that you submit a reading at the start of each season, so get in contact with your provider to submit your latest numbers.
- Turn it down: Turning your thermostat down just 1C could save an amazing ten per cent on your energy bill. So reduce the number on that dial and you could see huge savings.
- Invest in energy-saving: Switching to energy-saving lightbulbs can make a massive different to your bill. Or you can get a few tealights to create a warm, cosy feeling in any room. Instead of splashing out on a portable room heater, buy a bumper pack of 100 candles.
Lakeland says it’s perfect for delicates as the pod avoids the spin of typical tumble dryers.
