Deciding what is best for you, your budget or your laundry load


When drying clothes indoors, there are several space-saving and energy-efficient options to consider.

What do the experts say?
Advice you can trust


When it comes to using heated airers for indoor drying, our Product Development Director at Beldray, Tommy Singh has some top tips for you.

Consider Advanced features

One of the biggest errors is ignoring advanced features. Heated airers that have built-in timers or adjustable heat settings provide more control and efficiency, allowing you to manage drying times without wasting energy.

Buying the right size of heated airer

Choosing a smaller model can limit drying capacity, while opting for one that’s too large can create issues if it doesn't fit in your room or storage area. Balancing drying space with the room size is important to ensure the airer is both effective and practical for your home.

Consider a heated airer with a cover

Using a cover on your heated clothes airer can enhance its performance by trapping heat which reduces drying time. Covers help create a mini-drying environment, ensuring that the warmth from the airer is evenly distributed. This is particularly helpful in colder or more humid environments, where the air around the airer may not be as susceptible to fast drying.

Is a heated airer your best option?

If you have outdoor space and live in an area with good weather year-round, traditional outdoor lines can be a cost-free solution where you may not see much benefit in adding a heated airer to your routine. For those looking to save on electricity, a heated clothes airer is an affordable, energy-efficient way to dry clothes during the colder months.

Compact living and limited space in your home

Drying clothes indoors with limited space can be a real challenge, especially if you don’t have room for a tumble dryer. Compact living often means relying on creative solutions, like clothes airers, but they can take too long and leave your home feeling damp. A heated clothes airer is a perfect alternative, offering a space-saving way to quickly dry laundry without the need for bulky appliances. Its foldable design makes it easy to tuck away when not in use, making the most of your small living space.

Combatting allergies by drying indoors

For allergy sufferers or those sensitive to pollen, drying clothes outside can be problematic, as outdoor allergens cling to fabrics. Drying clothes indoors with a heated clothes airer eliminates the risk of bringing pollen and dust mites into your home, ensuring your laundry stays fresh and allergen-free. Additionally, heated airers offer a gentle drying solution that helps maintain the quality of your fabrics, preventing wear and tear caused by tumble dryers or harsh outdoor conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect their health and extend the life of their clothes.
