Sustainable Clothes Dryer
To reduce our energy use and personal carbon emmisions we never dry our clothes using electricity. From spring to autumn on non-rainy days we can usually manage to dry our clothes on our outdoor washing line using natural sunlight energy. But during winter we dry all our clothes indoors. We have found the best and most simple tool to help us with this is a ceiling clothes drying rack.
This rack uses a pulley system to pull the clothes rack up to the ceiling. In our home we have quite a high ceiling peak and even with long pants hanging down we can still walk underneath the clothes, so they don’t take up any floor space like other drying racks.
As we heat our home using sustainable harvesting of wood for home heating we believe this clothes drying technique to be completely sustainable. The air up at the ceiling where the clothes are drying is also a few degrees higher than at floor level so is really efficient at drying clothes.



I have always really liked these racks on pulleys that go to the ceiling. I also really like this clothes drying rack just because it is so flexible about where and how I use it.
