Clothes dryer

The process that is regularly found on the list of household chores is drying the laundry after washing. Some washing machines have a special function, thanks to which the laundry gets out of it already dry. However, with this approach, things are often overdried, and therefore ironing is difficult. Based on this, in most cases, housewives prefer the natural drying process. To complete this task, a clothes dryer in the bathroom will help, which is indispensable if the apartment does not have a balcony or loggia with good ventilation.

Design features

Several types of bathroom dryers are presented on the modern market at once, which differ from each other in the way of installation and the type of construction.

Ceiling

Wet clothes are placed on metal rods that are suspended from the ceiling using rollers and ropes. The fastening of this design is carried out using two brackets. Each bar individually can be lowered to hang clothes, and then raised to the desired height.

This arrangement of clothes dryers in the bathroom is ideal for apartments with high ceilings. In this case, drying things will be out of sight. Thus, you will save the interior of the room from congestion.

Important! This system has a fairly robust design, and therefore can withstand up to 20 kg of wet, just washed laundry.

Wall mounted

You can also find on the market wall-mounted dryers in the bathroom, which, depending on the type of construction, can be of three main types:

1. Barbell. The dryer is mounted on only one of the walls. Cross rods very easily drop down to a level convenient for you, which greatly facilitates hanging clothes. This product is perfect for drying any clothes and wool products that cannot be dried when folded to avoid deformation. A knitted product made of wool is laid on top of the rods, which allows the process of drying it to be straightened.
2. Rope The most common today is a device consisting of a rope mechanism. The tension force of the strings of such a clothes dryer can be adjusted using a special drum. The structure is fixed stationary, and this complicates the choice of height.

Important! If the laundry is too low, you will experience discomfort when using the bathtub. In a high position, you will have to use a stool or stepladder to hang things.

3. Cantilever. This type of clothes dryer, as well as the clothes dryer, is attached to one of the walls. It moves forward due to special mounts in the form of an accordion. Such a product is perfect for small rooms: after all things have dried, the accordion is pressed against the wall again and frees up space.

Important! The lack of equipment can be considered small. The clothes dryer in the console-type bathroom is great for children's items and small items of your washing, however, placing a set of bed linen on it will be difficult. In addition, the accordion mount is not always reliable, and after a long active use can break.

Floor

The device for drying floor-type laundry does not require installation, but is simply placed indoors. When unfolded, this design resembles an ironing board.

A clothes dryer can be placed not only in the bathroom, but also placed in the living room or to give it a little free space on the balcony. With low weight, such equipment is easily transported. You can collect it with a simple easy movement and put it into storage in any bottleneck - lean it against the wall or hide it behind a cupboard.

Important! The floor dryer is distinguished by its minimal folded dimensions and its mobility. However, this device is completely unsuitable for small apartments, where every centimeter of usable area counts.

Electric

This dryer option is for those who do not like to wait long or are limited in time. A device in which the tissue is heated from the network will make your clothes dry much faster. However, it should be borne in mind that such care is not suitable for all types of fabric.

Important! Be extremely careful with many types of materials that do not tolerate heat during drying. If you violate the rules of care, your textiles may deteriorate or their service life will be significantly reduced.

To battery

There is another device for drying clothes by heating. The design of this type does not require special installation, but simply hung on the battery. If the bathroom does not have batteries, then the device can be used in the living room or bedroom.

Important! The disadvantage of such a dryer is the risk of damage to things when heated, as well as its small size. Drying sheets and duvet covers on several short rails will not work, but for pillowcases and towels this size is perfect.

To the bath

The folding dryer is a simple design that, if necessary, is placed on the bathroom and removed when the laundry dries. It does not take up space on the floor, which is very convenient for small bathrooms. If water drains or drips from the laundry, then you won’t have to constantly wipe it, as when using a floor dryer.

Important! The disadvantage of such a device is that it is impossible to use the bathtub during drying. In addition, when folded, it has a fairly large size.

Key selection criteria

When choosing a dryer, you should consider the size of the bathroom and the personal preferences of the hostess:

• For small apartments, dryers are suitable, which do not take up much space in the bathroom - wall or ceiling fixtures.
• If washing occurs frequently, but in small batches, it is advisable to choose a battery dryer or a miniature console dryer.
• The floor dryer is convenient in that it is easy to transport and, if necessary, can be transferred from the bathroom to any other room.

Production material

In addition to the type of design, when choosing a clothes dryer, pay attention to the material of manufacture of the proposed equipment.

Aluminum

Devices made of aluminum attract with their low weight and low price. However, this design is short-lived, it can easily bend or break under the weight of wet laundry. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose the models with the lowest price - they are usually made of low quality materials.

Important! Dryers made of metal have a higher strength, but if they are not coated with a special anti-corrosion coating, they rust or plaque due to high humidity.

Stainless steel

One of the best materials for the manufacture of dryers is stainless steel. This metal does not oxidize, looks attractive and can withstand a large load.

Hardware

When choosing a clothes dryer, you should pay attention to the accessories and the fasteners that come with it. Fastenings and loops provide reliable retention of the structure, and the strings of rope models of dryers should be strong and smooth.
