Clothes airers and pegs for easier laundry days

Keep the laundry moving with clothes airers and pegs for drying clothes around the home. From foldable drying racks and A-frame clothes airers to hanging and behind-the-door designs, there are options to suit different laundry loads and available spaces. A clothes horse can provide useful drying room when outdoor conditions are not suitable, while pegs help keep smaller and lighter items securely in place.

Choose a clothes airer for your available space

Start by thinking about where you usually dry clothes. A larger drying rack can provide plenty of hanging room when floor space allows, while a foldable clothes airer can be packed away between laundry days. In smaller homes or apartments, hanging and behind-the-door airers can help make use of vertical space without permanently taking over the floor.

Check the dimensions of the clothes airer both open and folded, particularly if you plan to store it in a cupboard or laundry nook between uses. Always check the individual product's stated load guidance before adding wet laundry.

Make indoor clothes drying more practical

When drying laundry indoors, position the clothes airer in a suitable, well-ventilated area and leave space between garments to encourage airflow. Spread heavier pieces such as towels and jeans across the rack rather than concentrating them in one area, while lighter garments can use the upper rails where suitable.

Keep clothes pegs ready for the next load

Keep clothes pegs together in a peg basket or container so they're easy to reach when you're hanging out laundry. Check individual product information when choosing pegs for different laundry and drying setups.

Once the washing is dry, fold and store your clothes airer according to its instructions. Regularly check hinges, rails and fittings for wear, and follow the product's cleaning and load guidance to keep your drying setup ready for the next wash.
