People are just realising what the rubber bits on your clothes air dryer are for & it means you can hang more washing

HAVE you ever been hanging your laundry to dry only to realise you don't have space for it all?

Well, one woman has revealed the clever way she uses the plastic bit on an air dryer to create more space.

Most air dryers have an extra piece of rubber on the corners, and while many think it's to protect the air dryer, TikTok user, Laura Williams found a more practical way to use it.

Sharing her discovery on her TikTok account, Cleaning At 83, she said: "Trying to get your clothes dry on a day like this is just c**p," as she showed it pouring with rain.

Laura added: "The airer is just not big enough to hold everything so I started using these to hang the clothes on to dry them."

She pulls on the rubber parts which pull apart from the dryer - giving her plenty of space to hang clothes on.

The cleaning whizz added: "Our gas and electric have gone up £100 a month so I'm trying to be mindful and not use the tumble dryer so often.

"I get clothes put away so much quicker doing it like this as well."
