A clothes drying rack is a very useful device to have in your home. Doing laundry is a part of domestic life-we all do it and most of us have electric or gas powered dryers that we use regularly that do get the job done but also drive up our monthly utility costs. A drying rack is a no-nonsense and cost effective way to dry your clothing that is quickly gaining in popularity.
A clothes drying rack can take many forms. It can be made of wood, metal or plastic. It can be collapsible, multi-tiered, expandable or even mounted on the ceiling. It can be set up anywhere you please, be it in the laundry room or out in the yard to allow your clothes to dry in the warm sun and breeze. Regardless of the style, the main benefit of drying your clothes in this manner-the natural way, is to save money. The average cost of electricity needed to dry a normal load of laundry costs up to 40 cents with an electric powered clothes dryer while a gas dryer will cost you 20 cents per load. Just consider for a moment how many loads of clothes you dry daily, weekly and monthly and you will quickly realize just how much money you are spending to get your clothes dried in this manner. Drying racks come in all sizes and are designed so that you can hang any type of garment on the rack to allow it to dry naturally. Using a drying rack is not only easy, it is highly practical and most importantly, extremely economical and 100% eco-friendly.
Probably the most popular type of clothes drying rack is the foldaway variety that is made of lightweight tubular steel or wood.

I like the circular style clothes drying rack that is based on the ones our grandmothers used back in the 30′s. I find it has the most air flow between clothes and it allows me to dry a whole load of towels or jeans on the same rack.
