I use one of these in the utility room. Would really recommend if you have the space, clothes dry quicker because air is warmer 'up there'

I sometimes find that drying clothes inside gives the clothes a fusty smell, or it's the softner I use?

I have an old fashioned creel that you pull up to the ceiling. It is absolutely marvelous. I inherited it in the house and when I had the kitchen done the builder thought I wouldn't use it and was going to get rid of it!

Only problem I have is that when cooking certain meals with the clothes on the creel is that they can absorb some of the smells. (Cooking chips being the worst),

I have a clothes horse that i normally keep in the kitchen, and in the winter, i put the underwear on the radiators.

We tend to hang tops and trousers on hangers and off door frames. It means they need less ironing (if you iron that is!!!! I could say i am really money saving by not ironing clothes - but that would be lying. Ironing was invented by the devil!!!!! Horrid job!!) :rotfl:
Ultimate in time saving too - i just stuff them into wardrobe when they are dry as they are already on hangers.

Why do you need a fitted to the bath type? I have 2 clothes horses, one opens like a book, the other conertinas up & down. Both fit in the bath fine, although they were't specifially desigend for it.

I use a retractable clothes line. It doesn't cost very much (saw one for £3.99 today) and it can be tidied away quickly. I try and do my washing so that it dries when I'm out or at night.
