Using boiler cupboard for drying clothes?

Posts: 160 Forumite
I’ve finally gotten around to a huge declutter and have “acquired” a whole new cupboard as a result🤣
The gas combi boiler lives in there but I’ve just realised that this could be an ideal new home for my clothes horse in the winter. My question is, will I just create myself a damp problem in there if I do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but better asking before rather than too late!
Thanks

I use mine all the time never had a problem OH put a rail in to hang four coat hangers plus two hooks in the ceiling of the cupboard.0

It's pretty much the same as an airing cupboard, surely? I'd just be very careful there aren't any air vents on the boiler that might get blocked.
Our boiler's a floor-mounted combi, with a small integral hot tank, and I use the heat that comes up from it 24/7 to raise dough, dry chillis, beans & eggshells (to be crushed & fed back to The Girls in their mash) & thoroughly dry out small things like jam jars, on a set of shelves above it. Works a treat.Angie - GC Nov 25 £149.77/£450: 2025 Fashion on the Ration Challenge: 40/68: (Money's just a substitute for time & talent...)0 -
Ah great! Thank you!
I’ve never had an airing cupboard before so I was probably over thinking it - had no idea if these were “special” cupboards with air vents😊
Boiler sits on the wall above and clear of the clothes horse so no worries of vents being blocked.
