Dead easy gas, make yourself a room with drying racks plus a large fan and a couple of dehumidifiers running 8 to 12 hours a day and Bob's your uncle, no tumble dryer needed.

I never had much luck with tumble dryers. So many things seemed to shrink. It's a very long time since I tried one, and I'm talking about launderette ones. That's what puts me off getting one.

The home ones also seem to shrink some clothes.

Another advantage for a dehumidifier - no heat involved.

The physics involved in the drying of clothes would be impossible to comprehend to folk who don't understand how a tumble drier works.

I do agree with that, but it is also one of the advantages of a heat pump dryer. Reviews of heat pump dryers always say a negative is that they take longer to dry than a standard dryer. It's true, they do take a bit longer, but the reason is they don't get as hot, and that also means they don't shrink stuff.
