How to dry clothes inside your home?
There is always some inspiration for an article. Needless to say, the heavy rainfall today at Chennai which lead to wet clothes hanging inside our home was a reason to write this piece.
The most common way of drying clothes after either washing manually or with the aid of a washing machine, is to spread them out on a clothes line. (as shown below)

This clothes line is typically situated on the terrace of the home/apartment. And this is exactly why the system fails on a rainy or overcast day as there is not enough sunshine.
So what is the workaround for this? We know that many people tie temporary clothes line inside the house, from one window grill to another, but this can only be a mess. With the possibilities of water dripping, people finding it difficult to move about, the problems are endless.
The best thing to do is to use a “Clothes Drying Rack“

These ultra portable, ultra light stands are a saving gadget for all our problems. And the best part is that their usage is not limited to rainy days!
Drying clothes on such racks can help prevent color losses which result from drying clothes in direct sunshine.
The rack itself is made up of a grill like structure where each rod can be used to hang clothes on. Since it is indoor, we do not need to add the customary clips to prevent them from flying away.
There are many varieties of racks in the market which can suit your needs. Number of fold-able arms, grill sizes, color and height are some of the differentiating factors.
There is even an electric rack which warms up and speeds the process of cloth drying !!
Some more types or racks can be seen here and here.
Comments are welcome.

I think the point with clothlines are that they do not take up floor space. They are inconvenient no doubt, but when emergency comes, we throw looks and appeal out of the window.
I think these “cloth racks” if available as wall mount units will be nice, as they won’t require floor space. (Which is a probelm especially if you live in flats/apartments.)
The sit-out or balcony is another option.

I bought today a clothes drying rack from the company Leifheit. The model is called Pegasus V. It can be put on the edges of the bath tub, so that the water from the wet clothes drips into the bath tub and not onto the floor…

Check out the iDry at http://www.cosmostyle.com.my/ for indoor clothes dryer. Saw the demo at CES and marked it as an Aavaas item. Finally got around to post it.
i have using the same type of drying rack at home for more
than 4 yrs and it is still very very good. It takes up many
clothes to 15, baby clothes for 25. The Best ONE!
I got it at some Chinese store in NY but can’t find the same
one anymore.
Does anyone know where I can order? If you live in NY, have
you seen one recently somewhere?
