How Hanging Your Washing Outside This Summer Could Save You Money on Your Energy Bills
With energy prices remaining a concern for many UK households, summer offers the perfect opportunity to cut your electricity bills without making major lifestyle changes. One of the simplest ways to save money is by swapping your tumble dryer for the great outdoors.
At NetLet Laundry, we know a thing or two about laundry. Based in Pembrokeshire, we provide professional linen hire and commercial laundry services to hotels, holiday cottages and holiday lets across the county. While commercial businesses often rely on industrial equipment to meet demand, homeowners can take advantage of the warmer weather to reduce their household energy costs.
Your tumble Dryer Could be Costing You More Than You Think
Tumble dryers are one of the most energy-hungry appliances in the average UK home. Depending on the type of machine you own and how often you use it, running a tumble dryer can cost anywhere from around £4 to £14 per month, with older vented models typically costing the most. On average, many UK households spend around £10 per month on tumble dryer electricity alone.
While that may not sound like a huge amount, those costs quickly add up over the course of a year. By making the most of sunny days during the summer months, you could save a significant portion of that expense while also reducing your home’s energy consumption.

Let Nature Do the Work!
Pembrokeshire enjoys plenty of fresh coastal air and long daylight hours throughout the summer, making it an ideal place to dry clothes naturally.
Hanging washing outside offers several benefits, you can lower electricity bills by avoiding tumble dryer use. Outdoor drying will give your clothes a natural fresh smell. Drying clothes outside is also great for reducing wear and tear on clothing, helping fabrics last longer. You will quickly lower your carbon footprint by using zero electricity to dry your clothes. Not using the tumble dryer will mean less heat and humidity inside your home during the warmer weather. Even larger items such as bedding and towels can dry surprisingly quickly on a warm, breezy day.
Extra Tips to Save Even More
If you want to reduce your household laundry costs even further this summer, try these simple tips. Try to wash full loads whenever possible, use lower-temperature wash cycles for everyday clothing (this will also help stop any colours running). Check the weather forecast and plan your washing around sunny days and be sure to bring clothes in before evening dew settles to keep them fresh and dry. These small changes can all help to contribute to lower energy bills over time.
