As the cost of living crisis continues to impact households across Britain, people are getting creative with their utility usage. Drying clothes indoors without a tumble dryer is becoming increasingly common, but finding space and ensuring even drying can be a challenge. Enter Lindsay, a cleaning sensation known as @dazlincleaning on Instagram, with a loyal following of 100,000 cleaning enthusiasts. Lindsay recently shared a game-changing hack for indoor drying that has left her fans amazed.
In a dynamic reel uploaded to her platform, Lindsay tackled the common dilemma: how to dry jeans on an airer without them taking up too much space or drying unevenly? She addressed her followers directly, saying, “Are you struggling to fit everything on your airer, or are your jeans not drying properly? I have the best tip.” The cleaning guru then unveiled a simple yet revolutionary technique: “Fold your jeans in half and feed the legs from underneath. Fold them over the bars on either side. You will fit a lot more on your airer and everything will dry perfectly.” Lindsay credits this nifty trick to another online cleaning star, @beckiesbitofsparkle, acknowledging her as the inspiration behind the tip. “INDOOR DRYING TIP. I first saw @beckiesbitofsparkle show this and I was blown away! What an incredible tip and thanks for showing this Beck! I won’t look back now,” Lindsay wrote in her caption.
Enthusiastic fans showered praise upon the ingenious laundry hack, with the post receiving thousands of likes. One commenter exclaimed, “Smashed it. Makes such a difference doesn’t it.” Another added, “I honestly thought everyone did this. My Nan taught me how to hang clothes on an airer when I used to stay there over the summer.” A third contributor remarked, “This is genius, or should that be jeanius thanks for sharing.” Other followers chimed in with their own laundry hacks, with one suggesting, “I put everything on coat hangers! It’s goes straight to the wardrobe once dry!” Another suggested, “Put a fan on to dry the clothes faster.” Amidst the tips, some comments included words of caution, “Don’t forget to leave a window open for ventilation,” said one commenter, and another sarcastically advised, “Best tip, don’t dry inside unless you like mould.” With the cost of living crisis showing no signs of easing, Lindsay’s clever laundry hack offers a practical solution for those looking to save money on energy bills while keeping their clothes fresh and dry.
