Thankfully, mum Natalie Catling has found a free (yes, you read that right) way to dry her clothes in her home – without any creases.
Instead of using a traditional airer, the cleaning whizz revealed on Tiktok that she actually hangs her clothes on her curtain rail as she waits for them to dry.
Unlike other bulky alternatives, this hack makes use of existing space in her home.
If that weren’t impressive enough, hanging the clothing above the radiator also helps any creases to drop out when you do decide to turn it on.

For those worry about being left out in the cold by this hack, you can prevent your home from losing valuable heat by closing the door as your laundry dries and adding a draught excluder.
