For the first time in 50 years, Brits are spurning tumble dryers in favour of old-fashioned line-drying: washing lines and wooden clothes pegs are flying off supermarket shelves.

Tumble dryers are the most energy intensive household applainces - nearly two thirds more than washing machines - and create 310kg of CO2 a year each on average. Drying clothes on a washing line creates no emissions and saves about £70 a year in fuel bills. Plus, drying your clothes in the outside doesn't risk shrinking them and shortening their lifespan.

Britain's tumble dryers use more than £1.1m of electricity every day - enough energy to power 2,650 homes for a year (if they didn't have tumble dryers, that is). And the 310kg of CO2 emissions you avoid is about the same saving you get from draught-proofing your home. If you don't use a tumble dryer you will save around £70 a year on running costs.

However, the washing line still has the drawback that if it rains you are back to square one! This is where the eco-dryer solves the problem....

The laundry is enclosed with-in a translucent shell, ensuring that your washing is always protected from any bad weather, but allowing the sun's rays to penetrate and dry the clothes at no cost. Also, the internal reflective foil, reflects the suns heat further, thus speeding up the drying time.

Therefore, when you return at the end of the working day, the laundry can be nice and dry, even if there has been a rain shower during the day.
