<\/p>\nTHERE are few things worse than trying to get all cosy and snuggly on the sofa, only to feel a draught coming in.<\/p>\n
But rather than fork out on a draught excluder which you need to install yourself, it turns out there's a popular household item you can use instead – and you'll already have it in your home.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Money experts at Which? decided to test what material is best at eliminating draughts and it turns out that if you're looking to cut back on pricey energy bills, then a bathroom towel is your best bet.<\/p>\n
It beat off everything from rubber, fabric and brush to come up trumps.<\/p>\n
In a clip posted to TikTok (@whichuk), the savvy woman explains: "This towel could go towards saving you \u00a350 a year". <\/p>\n
The video then shows a simulation using cardboard, feathers and a wind machine to replicate a draught.<\/p>\n
"We've set up a test to find the most effective draft excluder and this humble towel has come out on top," she continues.<\/p>\n "That's right, it does a better job than an actual draught excluder."<\/p>\n FABULOUS VEGAS: JOIN TO CLAIM \u00a3100 BONUS<\/strong> PLUS 50 FREE SPINS<\/p>\n "It let less air through our test than rubber, fabric and even the classic brush variety. <\/p>\n "Plus, a towel fits any gap and requires no DIY. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "The Energy Saving Trust predicts that draft proofing windows and doors could save up to \u00a350 a year off bills, So it's well worth doing."<\/p>\n The post caption read: "This is probably the easiest way to save \u00a350 on your energy bills this winter."<\/p>\n The money website also shared the pros and cons of each product and explained that while a towel will "dramatically" reduces the amount of air that gets through, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing solution.<\/p>\n And it's not the first time Fabulous has shared stories about savvy homeowners reducing the amount of breeze sneaking through gaps and cracks.<\/p>\n In another video, Chadwick\u00a0a mechanic put the towel trick to the test and said: \u201cGet yourself a towel and three bobbles it will do the same job.\u201d<\/p>\n The hack is very simple, you grab an old towel that you don't want to use and roll.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll want to roll the towel the right way so that it matches the width of your door.<\/p>\n You secure this with three hair ties evenly spread across your rolled towel.<\/p>\n Then you place this at the bottom of your draughty door.<\/p>\n This works just like a draught excluder.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nk_PlantsDying_offplatform.jpg\")
