These wooden Grandad drying racks are an essential tool for eco-conscious, households looking to air-dry clothes efficiently and stylishly. In untreated pine, they are perfect for indoor use, but great to use on a deck on a fine day. These racks provide a sustainable alternative to electric dryers, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Their expandable design allows for adjustable drying space, making them perfect for accommodating large loads or delicate garments. Oh, and also like drying racks of old, a simple sheet or blanket over the top, and it it becomes a secret hut (for your kids, not you, unless you just need some time out from the family).

Care
If you want to get longevity out of your dryer, we recommend a few things: Allow the dryer to dry out between each load of washing. As it is made from untreated New Zealand pine, leaving the timber consistently wet or damp can cause mould to form, so let it have a moment to dry out and get some sun.
Do not keep your dryer out in the elements. It is fine to have your dryer outside, but make sure you bring it in and not leave it outside if it rains or overnight. The moisture gets into the timber, which can make it brittle and sliver off.
If you do find that there are black spots or mould forming, apply some white vinegar bit of warm water and give it a scrub and leave to dry in the sun or a warm dry spot. Alternatively, baking soda works as well. Note: This will not get rid of the dark mould spots, but will kill the spores and does not affect the use of the dryer
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach etc, this can soak into the timber and then transfer onto your clothes.
