ANTI-INFLATION TIP: SAVE UP TO 75% ON LAUNDRY COSTS

So slash your washing and drying costs with special laundry balls you can buy for both your washing and drying.

Go to Lakeland.co.uk for the ‘Dolly Washer Balls’ (£13.99 for nine), which you put in with your clothes in the washing machine.

They provide extra scrubbing action which means you can reduce the amount of powder you use by 75 per cent.

Lakeland also has new ‘Dryangles Dryerballs’ (£9.99 for two) which dry clothes 25 per cent quicker, cutting down on your electricity usage.

Also, these drying balls reduce creases so you don’t need to use fabric softener and you get to spend less time ironing.

Use both these products and you get a greener and cheaper wash each week.
