Before the show, Martin asked fans on Twitter for their top energy-saving tips. Flooded with replies, the presenter shared some of them on TV.
Deanne said, "After washing, I always spin my clothes extra to get more water out of the clothes so they dry faster," to which Dashie replied, "I love this one, my grandma taught me . Very handy when you have clothes ready for a young girl to try on, cuts drying time by about six hours."
Adrian said: "Hang your clothes outside if winter weather permits. It may only be 80% dry, but that means 80% less energy in the dryer." Tenerife7722 said, "Get a clothesline. I haven't turned on my tumble dryer since 2021.
"It's about organizing in advance, having uniforms etc washed and dried when you need them. It's just a little planning. The residual air temperature in the house dries the clothes faster than expected."
It seems that tipping could save people a small fortune. On the show, the Money Saving Expert founder explained that clothes dryers are "the biggest energy consumer in our homes."
