Customers are flocking to their nearest Asda stores to pick up the silver George heated wing drying rack.

The easy-to-use product normally sells for £40, but Asda is currently offering a tempting deal as it’s available for just £26.

It weighs only 5kg and can be easily folded up for storage like a normal drying rack.

But what makes the Asda aluminum clothes airer such a tempting buy is the fact that it comes with a built-in heater.

Simply set it up as usual and place your damp, clean clothing between the rungs before plugging it into an outlet in your home.

After just a few minutes it will start heating up and your clothes will be toasted to perfection in just a few minutes.

Thanks to its clever wing design, it also expands outwards so you can always throw on an extra pair of socks from your favorite t-shirt.

The bargain find was quickly posted on social media for others to enjoy. Hundreds tagged their friends online, urging them to grab the ideal holiday item.

One excited shopper told her friend, “They’re so good.”

As another said, “I need one ASAP.”

I tried the newest and most unusual Christmas dinner – the turkey pasta was great, but the canned pork in blankets was disgusting

A third told her pal: “I want one that’s this cheap.”

The product has received great reviews, with many even mentioning how much money they have saved by not using their tumble dryer or turning on radiators to dry their clothes.

The cost of running a tumble dryer depends on what type of machine you purchase.

But on average, Uswitch estimates a tumble dryer uses around 4.5kWh of energy per cycle – meaning you’ll spit out around 67p per wash.

For large families who do laundry three times a week, this could mean you spend £104.52 a year drying your clothes.

The electricity required to operate the drying rack is far less, meaning you could save a lot of money by switching to the device.

A similar product that can save you money this winter is a Blyss 16l/d dehumidifier from B&Q.

The device can help prevent the house from getting moldy and it dries clothes quickly.

Running the dehumidifier for an hour costs just 35p – a significant difference to running the heater for an hour, which costs £1.50.

Other useful gadgets to invest in include USB hand warmers, heated insoles, or an electric vest.

They all use less than 1p per hour to run, making them perfect for those colder nights on a budget.

More laundry tips for the winter

Doing laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on track…

  • Use a dehumidifier: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent moisture.
  • Spin cycle boost: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, thereby reducing drying time.
  • Indoor drying rack: Invest in a quality indoor drying rack and place it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.
  • Dryer balls: Add dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static.
  • Space saving hangers: Use space-saving hangers or an extendable clothesline to maximize indoor drying space.
  • Microfiber towels: Place microfiber towels over your drying rack to absorb additional moisture from hanging clothes.
  • Partly dry outside: On dry days, hang clothes outside briefly before bringing them inside to dry.

These hacks can help you keep your laundry efficient and keep your clothes fresh even in the colder months.
