Here is a 5 step guide to finding an indoor drying rack to suit your needs.
1 TYPE. There are wall mounted drying racks and ceiling mounted racks for indoors.
1a The foldown indoor dryer rack. These fold practically flat against the wall when not being used. Then when needed they fold out and stay put holding your washing until it is dry.
1b The retractable indoor laundry rack. It retracts into a small box that sits on a wall and when needed you pull it out and attach it to a wall opposite.
1c Ceiling mounted drying rack. These are installed on the ceiling and stay there until used, when they can be lowered for the washing to be hung and then pushed up high again for the washing to dry.
All off these different styles can be positioned at a height to suit you, so are great for disabled users. Even the ceiling mounted racks are easy to lower, so easy to use.
2 STYLE. The ceiling mounted clothes airers come in a very traditional Victorian style and also a modern minimalist style. The wall mounted indoor type of products also come in a variety of different styles and colours so have a browse and find one that suits you.
3 QUALITY. An indoor drying line or rack is supposed to last for years. Look for quality when selecting yours. You want to read phrases like 'hard-wearing' and 'long-lasting, sturdy, strong, reliable'. The manufacturer will be proud of a quality product and will mention this in the write up. If you are not hearing it, then think again.
4 SIZE. The size of your indoor dryer or rack is important. If you have a big family you will need a bigger rack. If you get one that is too small then it will be a hassle to dry all your clothes and they will be squashed up and take too long to dry. If you get a product that is too big then you may find that it takes up too much space in the house.
5 POSITIONING. Think about where you have room for an indoor dryer, clothesline or washing line before choosing yours. Retractable lines are great if you have suitable space to put them in, otherwise the washing will hang in your face and be a hindrance. Foldown wall mounted dryers need enough space to foldout and not be in the way, can you walk around it, or can it go in a corner? The same applies to ceiling clothes airers, is your ceiling high enough? Think about this before you buy the product you think is best, afterwards will be too late.
Now armed with this knowledge I hope that you can go forth and choose a great indoor drying rack for your home.
