Extendable Radiator Airer | Over-Radiator Clothes Drying Rack, Stainless Steel

A drying rack that hooks over a radiator, which is what most British households end up doing with a wet jumper anyway — except this one holds the weight properly and does not slide off in the night.

The bars telescope from 42 cm out to 72 cm in seventeen positions, so it fits a narrow bathroom radiator or a wide living-room one and locks at whatever width you set. Because the heat rises through the bars from below, things dry in a couple of hours rather than the day and a half a cold airer takes. That is the point of a radiator airer: you are already paying to heat the room, so the drying costs nothing extra.

Key details

• Telescopic width from 42 cm to 72 cm, seventeen locking positions
• 32 cm deep, fits over radiators up to 24 cm thick
• Hooks straight over the top — no fixings, no drilling
• Stainless steel bars that will not rust in a bathroom
• Folds flat for storage behind a door or under a bed

What it is good for

Small loads that need to be dry by morning: shirts, socks, underwear, tea towels, a child's uniform. It is not a replacement for a full airer on wash day — it is the thing you use for the load in between. It also hooks over a balcony rail or the back of a chair.

Care

Wipe with a damp cloth. Spread the weight across the bars rather than loading one end, so the hooks stay seated on the radiator.
