Ceiling airer in the bathroom

[Happytimes31]

Hi

I am stick to death of many loaded clothes racks and too much use of the tumble drier. Has anyone got a ceiling airer in a bathroom. The room is small but we keep the door open and it has a window and heated wall radiator. Thoughts??

Anyone??

We are about to put one up in the utility room, same, we have windows we can open and heaters....

Just make sure you fix it into the actual joists

Fit an extractor fan, close the door and windows and it will be more effective. If you hang damp washing in there with the door open, you'll make the upstairs damp. Dust mites like a warm, damp environment btw.

We have one in our utility room and put the dehumidifier on underneath it. Drys very quickly

Consider a spin dryer to use after the washing machine - gets so much more water out.

I've got one, like you Op, l was fed up with washing everywhere. Had it for a couple of years now and find it very useful, just wish l'd got a bigger one.

I use an over-bath airer which does the same job. I also hang shirts over the doors of the boiler/laundry cupboard in the bathroom.

No issues with condensation but it is a big space, with E & S facing windows next to the bath. Small towel-rail radiator doesn’t contribute much heat. Door is usually open & I dry big stuff over the banister outside.

This is a Victorian terrace though, with open stairs to an attic room, & it’s quite leaky in parts which probably helps.

Ours hangs over our stairs!

Thanks. Edwardian terrace here. Sadly we don’t have enough level banisters to hang things on. Hmm hadn’t thought about damp, not sure OH will be up for more cost of extractor. Was thinking of putting it in upstairs corridor but it is carpeted and also I think would be annoying.

We have a ceiling rack on the top landing (half over the stairs) and a dehumidifier also on the landing underneath the rack.

In winter I dry all our washing there. Poor dehumidifier has been working flat out since November !

I love our set up and it enables me to do three loads a day, even when the weather is rubbish without using the expensive tumble drier.

What kind of ceiling airer have people got? I'd looked at a metal pole one but some reviews suggested the clothes tend to slide off?

I have the ikea ones although it doesn't look like they sell them anymore. It has washing line type wire to hang things on

In have a wooden one in my utility room. I love it and use it constantly. One of my friends has one in the hall of her very high ceilinged flat. I love going in and seeing her sheet and clothes away above me.

We have one. Georgian house so high ceilings. Things dry very quickly. Cheaper and far less environmentally damaging than a tumble dryer. Bathroom is well ventilated so no condensation. (Leaving window open a crack and the door open should be fine.)

Ours came from John Lewis. It has wooden slats and metal ends. We got our builder to put it up when he was doing some other work.

Warm air rises to ceiling height will normally be the best place to dry stuff.

@Happytimes31 no our old fashioned airer hangs over the stairs

So you stand on the landing to hoist it up and down!

My rack is an all metal one. I dry most stuff on hangers. Except towels and sheets which go over the bars. Nothing slips off.
