Even if there is access to a tumble dryer in your property, with multiple housemates using it, you'll no doubt find there are times when you need to dry your clothes the old-fashioned way (plus, it saves electricity). Bag yourself a good quality fold-up clothes airer like the Minky 3 Tier Plus Indoor Airer (£25) which has enough space to hold an entire load of laundry. You can put this out in the garden in dry weather to speed things up.
