Members of a Mrs Hinch Facebook group have shared some of their top tips and tricks for drying your washing in a more cost-effective manner.

With the colder weather setting in, it may not be as easy to air-dry clothes. And with bills continuing to rise, households will be looking to avoid using the tumble dryer - which is one of the most expensive home appliances.

One woman, posting on the Mrs Hinch fan group, has been left in this predicament and asked what she should do. As reported by the Express, the woman, who wanted to dry her clothes without using heating or a tumble dryer, was inundated with tips.

Her post read: "Hi all, can anyone recommend how to dry laundry without putting the heating on? It's all mounting up and I can't get the clothes to dry quickly enough.

"We don't have a tumble dryer and currently use an airer."

Here are some of the responses from members of the popular Facebook group.

One recommended putting clothes outside on a washing line, saying: "If the concrete is dry your clothes will dry, put them out as early as possible then when it is dusk bring them in. By morning they're okay."

A third wrote: "Someone wrote this last week saying if it’s dry in the sky and dry on the ground put them out. I’ve started doing it like you said and when I bring them in at night they are almost dry. I was surprised!

"I then put them on the airer they are dry by the morning. (In the evening when I’m at home and the heating is on I sometimes just put them on there to finish drying them). So drying the clothes and heating the house at no extra cost."

Another post explained: "I have two airers and have an electric dehumidifier to speed up the drying, it works so well. Got the dehumidifier last year and wouldn't be without
