The product is mounted to the ceiling and therefore uses the natural rising warm air in your home, to dry your clothes. Arguably, getting something for totally free will get a true MoneySaver's heart pumping faster than any cardio workout ever could. Our standard pulleys come with plastic wheels and our deluxe pulleys come with cast iron wheels for a more authentic touch. The airer is lowered to be loaded or unloaded, then raised to move the items up into warmer air and as out of the way of room occupants as the ceiling height allows.

We spaced the slats at 3”, but I think the airer would be more useful with wider spacing (4” +) to allow for hanging bulkier items. However, although the washing of laundry became mechanised and electrified in the twentieth century, even households that can afford electric clothes driers may also use a clothes airer, and its environmentally friendly qualities have led to a resurgence in its popularity, [4] with a number of new manufacturers springing up in recent decades.Washing days are rarely a once-a-week thing in the modern world, and busy households combined with unreliable weather can make getting laundry dry a frustrating task. Use of a dehumidifier in your laundry room is recommended, especially if your home suffers from condensation or damp. The rack ends serve to hold and space the rails, and act as points to secure the cords that raise and lower the unit. The attractive design for our clothes airers maximises the space in your home – whether it’s a traditional country house or a modern city centre flat.

The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings.The double pulley in the middle need to be fitted at a right angle to the other pulleys which means you will need to screw it sideways into a block of wood or into the end wall at ceiling height if this is possible. If the environmental impact and cost of tumble dryers is putting you off, why not try a Dry:Soon heated clothes airer?
