Ollie93 Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I assumed he meant he just hung them on the radiator? Needs to get a clothes horse IMO. Not in the same room, guaranteed chest infection from that.
ramboacdc Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I assumed he meant he just hung them on the radiator? Needs to get a clothes horse IMO. i have one but the time it takes to dry stuff is unreal. thinking of getting some of them clothes horses that hang off the radiators see if they help. there must be something i can do at this time of year cuz if i put it out and leave it with no heating on it wont dry. i cant open the windows cuz theres wasps and flys everywhere and if i do it the inside of my flat looks like its been carpet bombed.

Rincewind Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I hang clothes on a skylight window on the stairs. Works pretty well. I have a pair of shorts on today 1st time this year. Dont know if to go out in them what with my 60 yr old legs. Would like to find my denim ones.
Wymsey Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 wymesy is so weird Says someone with over 12,000 posts on a forum, must be the only thing you're successful at. You mean he's 'weird' Standard response from you, from some recent posts; I noticed you tried to imitate others with your rude responses at times. Can't imagine you being as powerful as you want to be perceived as on here behind your laptop/mobile.
Stadt Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I don't really understand slating someone for going on the same Internet forum as themselves
Wymsey Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I don't really understand slating someone for going on the same Internet forum as themselves You're probably right, but you can't negatively judge someone (i.e. 'weird') based on some posts made - in the online world.

Tincy Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 best decision ever sleeping in the pantry last night had a solid 9 hours unbroken sleep!

You want a clothes horse and a dehumidifier, that's all we use (when hanging outside isn't an option) - get a decent dehumidifier for £100-£150 and put it near the clothes horse, dry overnight. You don't get the creases that a tumble dryer leaves and far cheaper to run too. Also a handy item to have in case you ever get a small damp problem, or just bung it in the bathroom to dry your towels faster
ramboacdc Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 With all that heat the police will think you've got a grow house going on! i did wonder why they visited last week...and asked about the smell (legit they turned up. so many complaints about the smell of weed in the hall. i think that and the heat they must have thought it was me) mrs has had the idea of turning all the radiators off apart from the bathroom and sticking the heating on for an hour to dry clothes. not a bad idea really.

Not if you buy the right type. Think ours is 400w, we leave it on constantly in one room or another, something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005HI4XAI/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1435830579&sr=8-18&keywords=dehumidifier There are industrial units available that are thousands of watts which will cost a lot to run, but the small home units are fine. Just don't bother with any of those tiny ones

Can't imagine you being as powerful as you want to be perceived as on here behind your laptop/mobile. I'm not trying to imitate anybody, nor am I trying to be rude I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to be perceived as powerful either. If you felt I was being that way, sorry, but the only things I've said directly to or about you recently on here was a post in reply to someone saying you and Leicesterpool have the same posting style, to which I commented on how you often make points but when people discuss those points with you, or challenge them, you rarely respond (which can actually get a little annoying when you attempting to debate something.) And I also commented on how you seem to have suddenly decided that 90% of your post have to include shudder quotes for no apparent reason, which I've just found quite commical tbh. And I probably would say it to your face, but then just scarper pretty quickly if you were bigger than me and started to look pissed off Anyway, peace Wymesy
Tincy Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 you do not need the heating on to dry your clothes on a clothes horse... this is all I have to dry my clothes and they dry pretty quick.

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 we have gone for a little 7 quid one for now see what happens with that. if need be i will invest in a larger one. 7 quid one to dry clothes with? You'd have been better off buying a cheap hair dryer for that.
ramboacdc Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 7 quid one to dry clothes with? You'd have been better off buying a cheap hair dryer for that. we are gonna just try hot boxing the bathroom and sticking that in there to help with it. if it don't work i aint gonna lose sleep over £7.
Haydos Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I usually put washing on in the evening, hang out to dry on a clothes rack before bed and by the next morning/afternoon it's dry. Not that difficult. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Dry-Folding-Clothes-Airer/dp/B007NVMXVI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1435843703&sr=8-2&keywords=clothes+airer There you go, have it by tomorrow with prime.

I don't have windows open, just leave it in the hallway. Have you got damp? Can't think of any reason it wouldn't get at least mostly dry in 24 hours, especially in this heat. Do you put it on a spin cycle in the machine?

But it won't help - and you'll come to the conclusion that dehumidifiers are rubbish! Your clothes are going to stink just as bad as before

Can't think of any reason it wouldn't get at least mostly dry in 24 hours, especially in this heat. Do you put it on a spin cycle in the machine? yeah does a full spin. ****ing loud as hell! But it won't help - and you'll come to the conclusion that dehumidifiers are rubbish! Your clothes are going to stink just as bad as before fair enough i will stick this cheap shitty thing in the bedroom see if it helps the mrs sleep better. if the bathroom thing dont work i will invest in that one you offered. cheers mate.
Merging Cultures Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 I wouldn't 'hotbox' the clothes, even with a £7 dehumidifier. It will just stay hot and humid. You need airflow to let the water evaporate. Stick a fan on, plus a decent dehumidifier, and the clothes nicely spaced on the airer. No matter how humid, that will dry them quickly.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 2 July 2015 Posted 2 July 2015 Well the last page and a half are certainly sending me to sleep. I've never seen such in depth discussion about drying clothes.
