Those clothes airers that hang from the ceiling..... a question or two!

[KaySamuels]

I'm hoping someone on here has one or at least knows what I mean.

My first question is what are they called?

My second question is where can I buy one from?

I am seriously sick of all the clutter in my house and my main bugber is the clothes horse in our bedroom.
I have recently sorted out toy storage and it's made a big difference, so I am moving onto clothing/laundry issues now!

Any advice, links to stockists etc appreciated.

sheila's maid

no idea

bugbear - I really should preview but I'm too impatient!

back of the guaridan i cought mine from - the company is called Sheila maid i think

It is (as far as i know) known as a

wait for it

Rack.

we had one in our old house and it was fab. Ceilings too low here to put it up - it's a shame. Got it on line - just goog;ed clothes airers i think, dh sorted it so it had to be simple and easy!

Although i just did a quick search and all i came up with is ceiling racks to hang pans on. Bah.

Airer. Pulley.

I knew it had a daft name! Kind of like lazy susan. Sheila's maid of course what else would it be called!?

Will google it now I know it's name, thanks.

Definitely Sheila Maid.

Sheila's maid.
Think some people sell them on ebay.

does this help?

We have high ceilings so can put on lading out of the way.

Thanks both links great, best not show DP that first link of godzillas he would spend a fortune. Now just need to convince dp we need one. This is the bloke who asked me if we really needed a new washer when ours broke down!

If it's any help, i typed in 'ceiling suspended clothes airers' as my search, and that was the first thing i looked at!

They are called a Maiden

Mine fell on my head the other day.

Don't let that put you off though, it is a great invention.

Lakeland does sell them, bit cheaper than S Maid but not quite as nice.

That days gone by sight is fab! Great stuff on it for dp and ds, have added it to my favourites.

Will check lakeland too.

constancereader - I wondered about that I am extremely clumsy and could see myself doing the same thing!

I love mine. It's brilliant. I'm double thrilled now I know it's called a Shiela's Maid. PMSL!

'Doubly'.

The cord broke! It just landed on me. According to my mil they do that every do often, just keep an eye on the cord and replace it when it looks a little dodgy.

It didn't hurt, but it was a bit of a shock.

I thought they were called maidens (unless they're Australian maybe?)

If you have high ceilings and a nice clean dry source of heat they are brilliant.

whereabouts will you put it in your house? have often wondered about them...
