Retractable Wall-Mounted Clothes Airer, No-Drill Fitting

Drying washing indoors is just what you do in Britain. The problem is that a floor airer takes over the whole room for two days. This one pulls out of the wall when you need it and vanishes when you don't.

• Retracts flush to the wall — no floor space taken, no stepping around it all week
• Multiple lines pull out and lock at whatever length you need
• No-drill adhesive fitting as well as screws, so it works in a rented flat without losing your deposit
• Costs nothing to run. A heated airer is roughly £55 a year and a vented tumble dryer around £135 — this is £0
• Goes over a bath, in a utility room, a bathroom or on a balcony

Drying indoors without causing damp

A wet load puts a couple of litres of water into the air of your home. That is where condensation and black mould on window reveals come from, and it is why nearly a third of English households report a damp problem. Dry near an open window or with the extractor running, and keep the airer off a cold external wall. That one habit does more than any spray.
