We had covered some details about drying clothes inside your home sometime back. You could read about them here and here.

Today we just give you a product which we came across in a trade show at Chennai. The product if for drying clothes inside your home and looks pretty interesting. The picture is shown below. You could click on the same for getting a better view.

It is a fold-able unit including wheels which can be used for moving around easily. The price as quoted to us at the exhibition was close to Rs. 2300/-

Now this may seem to be a steep price, but we believe that since the unit is constructed out of aluminium which keeps it light and strong besides being corrosion free probably makes up for the price tag.

Now where this would be available in India is a question that desires to be answered. If you are interested in purchasing this in India, please let us know and we shall try and get you the answers.
