When the light fades as winter nights approach, drying laundry outside becomes more restricted. The cold wet and windy weather is so forbidding that we simply do not want to hang clothes outside. That's when the clothes airer comes into its own.
A clothes airer is the natural option.
Laundry Rack Folding
You simply hang your spun dried items on the airer to return some hours later. In days of old it was common to hang the laundry on a wooden clothes horse in front of a roaring coal or wood fire. This blocked the heat - filled the room with damp condensation and created a fire hazard.
Today the floor mounted folding airer is the modern equivalent. It is mainly used in summer on patios or verandas. Beloved by fixed campsites, especially in the Euro zone, they are robust appliances that take a full load of washing.
The floor-mounted version comes in a smaller size (mini) to fit into the bath. Ideal for drying woollens or your favourite cashmere so that it drips into the bath.
The most versatile drier/airer is the wall-mounted version. This fixes to the wall above a radiator. The radiator radiates the heat outwards and upwards. Radiated heat will then travel upwards generally drying everything on the airer above.
Because the warm passing air dries the clothes naturally slowly, it does not pump large amounts of water into the air. The moisture disperses in microscopic amounts gently over a few hours.
By not using a tumble dryer you also save beating the clothes
No fibres are lost using a clothes airer
Clothes cannot be cooked or baked dry using an airer
What a marvelous gift to give a friend. Not only will it save them money because of zero fuel costs, it will enable them to reduce their carbon footprint every time they use one.
Many things can be put down to a trick of the light. In the case of the clothes airer maybe it's the fading light that reminds us how to save energy.
