A cleaning expert took to social media to share one of her top tips for drying her clothes now we are experiencing colder and wetter weather at this time of year
A cleaning expert has revealed one great laundry hack that shows people how best to dry their clothes in wetter and colder weather.
Avoiding mould growing in your house is important, especially those of us in older buildings more susceptible to it. Instagram user Lynsey Queen of Clean, ‘@lynsey_queenofclean’, recommended the household brand Boss It and its new Rapid Dryer Ball.
This “game changer”, Lynsey estimates, makes drying clothes around 40 percent quicker. She said: “It reduces [drying time] by 40 percent, so I’ve literally used it to the max over the last few days! Because it’s of its heat technology, it’s basically taking the heat, reflecting the heat, and splitting it up around the dryer.
“You only need one ball. Honestly, it’s been a game-changer, but it does make a little bit of noise, so if you have a small load in then be sure to close the door to your laundry room if you have one. Or, put up with the noise and save 40 percent!”
The Boss It tumble dryer uses HeatBounceTM technology, unique to the Rapid Dryer Ball. When the Boss It logo begins to wear off, it is time to replace it and customers can send old balls back to the brand for it to be recycled.
Social media is a great place to find cleaning hacks. Laura Mountford, a professional cleaner and social media star known as @lauracleanaholic on Instagram revealed a good way to clean windows.
Laura says windows tend to get grimier and look cloudier in autumn because of the extra moisture in the air but she has the perfect method to tackle the muck.
Laura said: “Windows become foggy due to condensation, laundry drying, humidity and the change in temperature.” Laura recommended keeping home well-ventilated during the colder months to stop mould and mildew from creeping as reported by Leicestershire Live.
But the good news? Laura says getting your windows streak-free and sparkling doesn’t take much effort – all you need is a bit of dish soap. Sharing her simple hack, she revealed: “The quickest hack for cleaning your windows is to use a mop and hot soapy water. Clean the windows and frames, then use a window [vacuum] to remove all the soapy water residue.”
Dish soap, designed to break down grease and grime, lifts dirt from glass quickly, making it easy to wipe away without leaving streaks. Mix a small amount of washing-up liquid with water, and you’ve got a powerful solution to banish dirt without any smears. If you prefer, you can swap dish soap for white vinegar. According to Laura, “Using this method is quick, easy and cost-effective. It is also really satisfying cleaning your windows this way. You will be able to clean one window in less than five minutes.”
