Finding out that your clothes are still wet after a cycle in the dryer is infuriating. It ruins your whole afternoon. It makes you feel like you wasted your time, and potentially money, if you dragged your dirty clothes to the laundromat. Another common laundry problem is that you hand-washed all of your sweaters and now you have nowhere to drape them. Your shower curtain rack is full and all non-cloth chairs are occupied. If you struggle with one or both of these problems, it might be time to get a drying rack.
Drying racks will allow you to air-dry your clothes faster than your kitchen chair will. They’re more efficient and can hold a ton of clothes. If you’re short on space, don’t fret. All of the best drying racks are foldable and collapsible, so you can store them easily in the back of your closet or under a piece of furniture. Two of our options are steel, while another is made out of bamboo. One of our picks is a drying rack that has a special sweater rack and a place to dry your shoes, in case you get caught in the rain or need to wash your sneakers. These racks will take some of the pain out of laundry day.
