Compact dryers for clothes that fit in a backpack or a small wardrobe ?

Callie22

There are already some solutions for drying in small spaces - you can buy heated airers which fold down to quite a small footprint, and there are things like the Dri-Buddi which again also fold down. Neither are ideal for travelling but both work fairly well in small homes. Or you can buy wall-mounted extendible racks or racks that sit over the bath.

If you're travelling wouldn't you just try to find a launderette rather than worry about drying laundry? Or, when I was a student in halls and had access to an en-suite, the standard trick was to fill the room up with laundry, then turn the radiator up and the fan on - not very money saving but if your bills are all-inclusive then that's something you could also do in a hotel ...

stick one of these in your wardrobe .


Open it to dry your clothes

You can also use it to get the Christmas tree out the loft

This would be perfect for you. It folds down, will fit in your backpack and in the wardrobe of your hotel.

I find the idea of a chip hotel strangely appealing.

OP, would you by any strange chance be on the verge of designing such a contraption? Or even one that you could sell me now?

Sorry, I couldn't sell you any items... I'm only asking.. As I see you don't the same problem as me.

Great one! I like it! Thank you. One thing that I'm afraid of the place for mounting the hook. It should be maybe a bath with a blind to put on.

As for me it will be comfortable to take drying rack with yourself in a trip. Always I stop in chip hotels where I can put my clothes only in bathroom. it's not enough area.

Yeah. I known they say aim for a niche market, but the market of people who even wash their clothes in a hotel room is small, let alone those who wash enough to need a full drying rack.

That's what laundrys are for. And suitcases to take dirty washing home.

When we used to go on walking holidays we were always having to dry wet things :rotfl:
We had a long twisted piece of elastic cord from an outdoors shop, hung it from fixtures in the room, you don't need pegs you push a corner of the clothes into the twists and hey presto!
I expect the housekeeping staff thought we were strange though!

I was thinking of the twisted elastic cord too. It's really useful and you can hang it off door handles, trees or anything else that's handy.
