We all know the frustrating feeling of doing a load of laundry, only to have the drying process take forever because Mother Nature isn't cooperating.
Wet weather can be a pain when it comes to drying your clothes, especially if you don't have the luxury of a dryer or the budget to run it.
Luckily for us, one genius mum came up with an easy solution for this common problem – and it doesn't even require any fancy technology!
Emily shared her discovery in the Facebook group Bunnings Mums Australia, revealing that installing a washing line right next to a ducted heating vent has made all the difference for her laundry routine.
And not only does this nifty little hack speed up the drying process, but it also means her clothes come out smelling amazing!
'The best thing I did while renovating my laundry was to install a washing line right next to the ducted heating vent,' she said in her post on social media.
'This is a mini Hills fold down from Bunnings. It holds 1-2 loads of washing. A game changer in winter!'
Her post quickly went viral on social media, receiving over 3000 likes from impressed mums who vowed to try out the idea for themselves. Comments poured in from people who said they had already done something similar in their own homes and swore by it!
'Everyone thought I was crazy for adding a heating vent in the laundry,' one commenter wrote. 'Best idea ever!'
Another added: 'My dear handyman dad made me something similar - all materials from Bunnings. It folds up onto the bulkhead wall next to the boiler in the laundry, so you can't see it from the kitchen. Things dry in no time at all!'
While having access to heat definitely helps things dry faster, lots of other commenters pointed out that they don't have this luxury but still find that their clothes air-dry perfectly using this method – even during wet weather conditions!
'I don't have a dryer or ducted aircon vent,' one woman explained. 'The laundry does get some arvo sun, and everything dries perfectly!'
So there you have it, folks! This just proves that sometimes, the simplest solutions are also the best ones. For times when the weather outside isn't cooperative at all, consider these other methods for drying your clothes:

So there you have it, folks! This just proves that sometimes, the simplest solutions are also the best ones. For times when the weather outside isn't cooperative at all, consider these other methods for drying your clothes:
- Wrap each article of clothing in a large bathroom towel and roll them up like a burrito. This absorbs extra moisture for faster drying!
- After your washing machine has finished its normal cycle, run a second spin cycle to 'wring' out some of the excess water.
- Another crafty option is to use your hairdryer to dry your garments when they are too wet.
