If you are drying clothes indoors, either through choice or necessity, an electric fan speeds it up considerably but it still uses a lot less juice than a tumble dryer.

I have been thinking, I am sure I saw a blog or website telling you how to reuse a tumble dryer drum, making it into a laundry basket with a seat for a lid. And them again in the garden as a potato planter...
Obviously you would have to sand the rough edges....
No I'M your biggest fan.... stupid mechanical oscillating thing.
That is SUCH a good tip - obvious when you think about it, which I hadn't ... thanks so much

This is how ours is done, looking up the stairwell...

The fan is the thing on the right and is controlled by a light-pull switch just out of sight on the left. The switch with the neon is for the loft-light.
The rack takes a full load of washing and dries it in about four hours. The fan is on low speed and draws about 15 Watts. It used to be a desk fan like Mel's but that one's bearing died after five years and I picked this one up for under a fiver in the end of summer season sales.
The rack was sold by Argos as a saucepan rack, though they don't do 'em any more.
