[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2076498, member: 238814"] I was interested when this discussion first started about the heated towel rail. But as it progressed I realised it wasn't that good. I haven't had a tumble drier for over 20 years... So what do I do? Well in my last house I had a portable dehumidifier because of damp walls etc. Then I found, accidentally by putting the clothes airer around the dehumidifier, it actually dried the clothes. But obviously don't have the clothes airer too packed closely with clothes. I don't have a fancy clothes airer, just a 5 panel old fashioned clothes horse, so consequently it is easy to put round the dehumidifier. It is very effective, and it the dehumidifier ever needed replacing, I would get another for that purpose. But remember, I haven't had the 'luxury' of a tumble drier for over 20 years. I am not sure a tumble drier is a luxury, because it thins out clothes, takes an awful amount of fluff/fabric off clothes. Whereas my current method with the dehumidifier, the clothes still feel as though they have body and not thinned out. So, when I moved here I carried on doing the same thing. Now, I do have underfloor heating but just in the shower room, (nowhere else) and in winter months I have been known to put that on anyway for general heat (the bedroom is next to it), and I put the clothes airer in there. This is usually when I am drying sheets and pillow cases. Just some ideas...if you already have a dehumidifier, then maybe give it a go. In addition, the clothes dry much straighter than when in a tumble drier... >^..^< [/QUOTE]
