Drying Racks - Only the Best for your Designer Clothes

So often I worry what is happening when I put clothes in a tumble dryer. On holiday I used one to dry towels and holiday clothing. After successive loads the filter was jammed with fibres with different layers of colours like those bottles you often see for sale with different layers of coloured sand.

Clothes airers don’t remove the fibres from my clothing and household items, so they do not lose their shape or their strength. I have noticed that over time continued use of a tumble dryer reduced the useful life of my clothes.

Drying racks come in wall mounted, floor standing or multiway washing line versions. All drying racks dry clothes naturally or if placed above or next to a household wall heater, will have the benefit of secondary heat and warm air drying. Clothes dry naturally without the rough and tumble of being enclosed in a rotating metal drum. Eco-drying systems are energy free unlike the tumble dryer that gobbles up energy at maximum power all the time.

Retractable washing lines come in multiway designs. Five lines, extending to 4 metres, give almost 70 feet of washing line on which to hang the laundry. Although often installed outdoors on two facing parallel walls they are also completely ideal for use indoors, for example over the bath drying.

Specially designed, with the bath in mind, floor standing mini clothes dryers serve as portable clothes horses. They are absolutely ideal for drying outside on sunny days, either on a patio or anywhere in a garden. On wet or stormy days they can be used indoors in a conservatory or anywhere that is convenient.

The heavy-duty versions are often used in commercial and industrial areas where towels are frequently used or in schools, universities, canteens or restaurants. The applications are endless.

For me there are several key reasons for using one of the airers. Not only do I save energy, I become carbon neutral and extend the life of my designer sweaters into the bargain.

Multiple Uses For Drying Racks Or Airers

More people today are practicing the art of crafts and hobbies. With this in mind we can find multiple uses for airers besides just drying of clothes. Most that do crafts or have hobbies don't have a lot of extra room for their projects. Even with extra room what better way to use space and be able to put your airer away when you have finished the project.

A great way to use a wall mounted airer inside the home is for candles. Candles are beautiful and fun to make. Drip candles specifically need a place to hang to dry. Many of these candles are for decorative hanging and they make great gifts. An airer makes an excellent choice for this type of project as well. These candles can also make great sales item for street fairs, craft fairs and bazaars.

People that love flowers and want to preserve them need a way to dry them. An airer makes an excellent choice for this type of project. The air can circulate between the flowers allowing them to dry naturally and without using harsh chemicals. Think of the lavender that you could dry. Lavender has many different uses and is only one flower that you can dry. The airer then can serve as a drying rack for flowers as well as a place to dry clothes.

Airers are not only used for clothes. Most people with airers can find multiple uses for them. Today more than ever people want to find multiple uses for items in the home. With space decreasing and prices rising airers are just one way to save space and money. Not only are you saving space and money you are doing it in an environmentally friendly way. What more could you want from an airer?

Wall Mounted Airer - How to Realise your Full Drying Potential

Author: Jean Forsyth

Every home needs a space to dry laundry. Finding the space can be a simple task if you are a small household of just one or two but as the family size grows the need for space becomes a far greater concern, as does the need to dry larger quantities of laundry.

I can almost guarantee that you don’t make full use of the space in your home. Practically everyone I know will tell me how little room they have and how they cannot fit a clothes airer into the chaos of their home.

The solution is to utilise empty or dead space by using the "double decker" method of mounting clothes airers. This gives maximum drying space using higher and lower drying positions. The upper airer can be loaded with shirts, cardigans, dresses etc all on hangers while the lower airer can be loaded with smaller items such as underwear, baby clothes, socks, towels. This "double decker" method encourages the use of empty wall space in your home. It is an efficient way of increasing your drying space while maintaining floor space.

If there is sufficient wall space you can create a laundry room with a warm radiator along the foot of the wall and a row of "double decker" wall mounted airers to take a whole series of washing. The best type of wall mounted airer to purchase for the "double decker" method is the expanding/pull out kind so that when not in use the airers can be pushed back against the wall keeping your home looking tidy and running efficiently.

Other space solving solutions when it comes to indoor drying include indoor washing lines that fix onto one wall and pull out to attach to the opposite wall creating a vast amount of drying space and not using any precious floor space. If you prefer your airer to be mobile you can get floor standing airers that will fit inside the bath which utilises another often dead/empty space.

When it comes to indoor drying the space saving possibilities are endless.
