Woman shares bargain buy that helps dry her washing and keep her home free from mould – and it’s less than £3

WITH the weather turning cold and wet, many of us have started drying our clothes indoors.

But then there’s the risk of condensation and mould, as well as the issue of everything taking ages to dry through. 

Luckily one savvy mum has shared her bargain buy that’s helping to speed up the whole process. 

Cheryl, known online as @cherylthorne07, regularly shares funny videos with her 840 TikTok followers. 

In a new video, the mum reveals how a damp absorber, hung on the edge of her airer, gets her clothes ‘bone dry’ in hours and keeps her home free from mould. 

“I know I’m proper sad, but I only hung this on my airer this morning with all this. These were wet through. 

“Look, look at that. It were empty. 

“And every single thing on my airer is completely bone dry.”

Shoppers can get dehumidifier bags from various retailers, including B&Q, with prices starting from £9.99 for 12. 

Below the video, Cheryl confirmed she’d bought a pack of six from Amazon for £13.95 – meaning one bag cost her just £2.33.  

Fans loved the clever hack, with the video gaining more than 15,000 likes and 481,000 views. 

In the comments, her followers praised the mum’s idea, with one writing: “You not sad this is brilliant!”

Another said: “Ooo I’m gonna try these the washing situation is driving me mad atm”

A third put: “Why have I never thought of this? I get terrible condensation.”

Someone else commented: “Omg pure genius.”

Although not all were impressed, with one adding: “Why are people so amazed that water comes off wet clothes? Open a window in the morning and leave fresh air inlets open on your windows.”
