People label £5 Amazon buy for keeping house warm ‘ingenious’ – and it helps them sleep better too

IF your home is prone to winter draughts, a budget buy may be able to help.

Amazon shoppers heaped on the praise for a handy item that can help keep your house warm in the cold weather.

The draught blocker is available for less than £5 and can help you save on your energy bills[/caption]

Research published by Liberty Insurance found that over 25 million homes in the UK suffer with draughts.

As well as heating up your space, draught excluders can help save you money.

Draughts are most often caused by gaps around your exterior doors as well as windows.

The keyholes and letterboxes on your doors can also contribute to draughts.

Just Value Doors reported on the effectiveness of draught excluders in the home.

According to the research, blocking a draught can significantly reduce heat loss, potentially saving you up to 30% on your energy bills in extreme cases.

Even in less extreme situations, savings of 10% to 20% are quite common.

The Suptikes Draft Stopper is available in a pack of two for £4.91 from Amazon.

Part of a limited time deal, the budget buy can be fitted to the bottom of your door, blocking out both draughts, light, dust, and noise.

Measuring at 1.8-inches in width and 37-inches in length, the product is designed to fit most doors.

As well as helping save on heating bills, the product is also advertised as promoting better sleep.

This is due to its light and noise blocking quality, which allows your room to be completely dark and quiet at night.

It has been designed for easy installation, complete with adhesive backing.

Manufacturers recommend preheating the strip with hairdryer in cold winter to help it stick well.

The product has received an average rating of 4.3 out of five stars.

5 ways to keep your house warm in winter

Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.

1. Curtains

“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.

This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.

2. Rugs

“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.

“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”

3. Check your insulation

Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.

“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.

4. Keep your internal doors closed

“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.

“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”

5. Block drafts 

Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.

Amazon shoppers shared their thoughts on the buy in the review section of the website.

“Super easy to use. Just wipe down door. Does the job great and the adhesive is no joke,” wrote one impressed buyer.

“You can’t even tell they are on the door. Matched perfectly, easy to install, and [they] work better than we hoped for. Five stars and we highly recommend,” said another person.

“I want to say that whomever came up with this concept is INGENIOUS!” commented a third Amazon user.

“It keeps out the drafts and somewhat deters insects from entering without an invitation.”

I’m a lawn pro and it’s so important to look after your grass in autumn – follow my 7 tips for a lush lawn in spring

SPRING may still be a while away – however, according to experts, now is the perfect time to get your lawn ready for the warmer season ahead.

Whether it’s raking the garden or spreading grass feed, there are several simple and effective ways to prep the lawn for the harsh winter.

One guru has listed seven tips to ensure a lush lawn for spring[/caption]

Ensuring your lawn has vital nutrients will help strengthen the roots and resist any disease – the two key components for a running start for the spring.

To ensure you have the best lawn next year, one whizz, Jeremy Yamaguchi, CEO of Lawn Love, has come to rescue with five easy tips gardeners must follow this autumn.

Clear Out Weeds and Dead Plants

While weeds are most visible in summer, they grow all year round – and it’s essential to tackle them, Jeremy explained.

By weeding out dead or dying plants, you will make room for brush and ground coverage plants, as well as keep the soil full of key nutrients.

Water Well 

Since autumn ”is a recovery and preparation time for your lawn, it needs plenty of water”, the guru said.

According to the whizz, avid gardeners should be aiming for about an inch of water per week, with more or less depending on rainfall.

Once freezing temperatures hit, he urged to stop watering completely to prevent freeze damage.

Rake Regularly

Whether it’s leaves, pine needles, or fallen sticks, Jeremy explained that keeping the grass clear of natural debris will promote lawn growth whilst also reducing slipping and fire hazards.

Not only will your garden look neat, but the lack of any fallen leaves and debris will also keep any unwanted pests away.

Aerate

Another important task to add to your list is aerating – which means creating small holes in the soil to promote better circulation of essential nutrients, light, water, and air.

Gardeners can do so manually with a pitchfork and even shoe spikes, or a liquid solution consisting of enzymes.

Mow the Grass Low 

As we’re approaching winter, don’t be afraid to give the grass a shorter cut, Jeremy said.

This is because the shorter blades will prevent the grass from becoming matted and growing mould.

Once the grass completely stops growing, stop mowing until sprint arrives.

October gardening jobs

The Sun’s Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the jobs you need to tackle in October.

“It’s a good time to trim deciduous hedges – like box, yew, hawthorn, hornbean and beech – plus hedge trimmers are a great upper body workout!

Make leafmould – gather up all the fallen leaves and fill either bin bags or plastic carrier bags. Seal the top, stick a few small holes in the bag – and then store for a year or more. Free compost!

It’s unlikely you’ll get any more red tomatoes so have one final harvest and chuck the plants on the compost. See if you can get the green ones to ripen by putting in a drawer (some say with a banana). Also keep the seeds from a couple – and plant again next year if they went well.

Finish getting in your spring bulbs. Ideally you’d have done daffs and alliums, but tulips are better in the ground when the soil temperature gets a bit colder. 

It’s good to leave some plant litter in the ground – it adds to the nutrients as it rots down, and provides shelter and food for insects. But remove the manky brown bits collapsing all over the lawn/winter structure. 

Mulch – it not only suppresses weeds, but keeps the soil warm, improves water retention and adds a little winter duvet to your outside space. 

October’s a good month for carrots, peas, asparagus, broad beans, and rhubarb.”

Dethatch

Have you ever wondered why your lawn looks like a mat of dead grass, roots, and lifeless plants?

Chatting with Real Simple, the lawn pro explained that this combo of organic matter is called thatch, which can build up if your lawn is regularly mowed – but not raked or aerated enough.

To ensure your lawn is not covered in broken grass, Jeremy advised to rake the area manually – although power rakes can help just as well.

Plant Seeds, If Needed

Last but not least, the pro said that some lawn seeds need to be seeded in autumn for the ultimate grass for spring.

However, if you’ve missed the chance, there will still be time to try again when the warmer weather arrives.

Pack of 2 Minky Dryer Balls
What’s more, the drying balls are also said to soften the garments – a win-win

But sometimes these tricks fail – and it may be better to use savvy gadgets and products that promise to help with speeding up the drying process.

This is exactly what money-smart Dunelm shoppers have been doing, raving over a purse-friendly bargain they can no longer live without in the chilly months.

Priced at just £5, Dunelm’s Minky Dryer Balls feature ”plastic spikes that retain heat” and allow ”warm air to circulate effectively”.

What’s more, the popular retailer also claimed that not only will the two-pack of balls help with the drying process – but it will also make the garments super soft.

The laundry essential is ideal for thicker fabrics such as towels and bedding – no more wet bedsheets that take forever to dry whilst you’re saving money on heating.

This two-pack of durable balls is all you need for efficient drying, as they are built to last and can be reused over and over again, saving you both time and energy with every cycle.

Also available on Amazon for £5.99, they’re designed to be placed in the dryer with your clothes, helping to speed up the drying process.

Forget about using chemical fabric softeners that can irritate sensitive skin – these eco-friendly dryer balls provide a natural alternative that’s safe for the whole family.

Another added bonus is that their vibrant colours are fade-resistant, so the colours won’t fade or transfer onto your garments.

As winter is lurking around the corner, online shoppers have been racing to snap up this mini bargain buy, which has won an impressive 4.3-star rating on Amazon.

One delighted customer said: ”I was a bit sceptical that they would make any difference…….how wrong I was.

”I don’t put fabric softener in my towel wash as it stops them being absorbent.

”I found that even after part air drying my towels, if I popped these balls in the dryer to finish them off, my towels came out beautifully soft. Highly recommended product!”

Another chimed in: ”Saw these mentioned in an online review & purchased them.

”Great quality and value for money & have cut drying time significantly.”

More winter laundry tips

Tackling laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it:

  • Use a Dehumidifier: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent dampness.
  • Spin Cycle Boost: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, reducing drying time.
  • Indoor Drying Rack: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.
  • Tumble Dryer Balls: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.
  • Space-Saving Hangers: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.
  • Microfibre Towels: Lay microfibre towels over your drying rack to absorb extra moisture from hanging clothes.
  • Partially Dry Outside: On dry days, hang clothes outside for a short period before bringing them in to finish drying.

These hacks can help you keep your laundry routine efficient and your clothes fresh, even during the colder months.

A third penned: ”These dryer balls were value for money and are reusable so will last quite a while, would recommend.”

However, despite the dozens of rave reviews, not everyone had had the best experience with the £5 product.

One disappointed Amazon shopper warned: ”Not a good product very poorly made and makes clothes smell a plastic sort of odour.”

Someone else quipped; ”They stank! Then completely disintegrated.

”Rubber pieces entered the filter system and condensing unit.”
