I try to keep dryer use to a minimum, so I've spent the last couple years putting wet clothes on hangers, then hanging them from doorframes and shower curtain rods. It's inconvenient at times, but it gets the job done. And when I'm not in the mood, I just toss stuff in the dryer and go on with my day.
I've looked at various wall-mounted drying racks online, but none of them will work in our laundry room. So I was thrilled when a friend and I stumbled across these foldable racks at IKEA a couple weeks ago. I bought two and I love, love, love them! Not only can I hang lots of laundry on them, but I can put them anywhere that's convenient at the time, whether inside or outside, and they fit perfectly into a little space between our dryer and the wall when not in use.
Check them out. Here's one doing it's job.
Can you see them here? The tops are sticking up just a bit above the dryer. Perfect storage spot, isn't it?
I realize purchases related to laundry aren't the most exciting thing in the world, but sometimes it's the little things, the stuff that makes the daily grind a little easier, that are worth posting about. Who knows? Maybe one of you has been looking for the perfect drying rack and now you know where to find it.
What practical purchase have you made lately that you've been pleased with?

I have one I bought at Costco that I use in the winter time. I don't dry any of my clothes in the dryer.
Practical purchases that make life easier are definitely worth blogging about! My practical purchase? A side plug for my bedroom. I have an electrical outlet in there, but the bed knocks up against it. This is a problem since that plug has my power strip in it and therefore powers my computer, light, fan, etc. I will be moving next week so it may not be an issue in my new place, don't know yet, but to solve the problem for now, I bought a plug that lets you plug things into the side outlets so it settled the issue of the bed unplugging my stuff.
Glad you found a great dryer rack at IKEA. I love that store, so many useful items at good prices!
Those are great for drying art projects too... that's what I used them for when I was a teacher!
Unknown - I saw the one at Costco last week. :)
Shelley - That plug sounds handy!
Kristal - The term "art projects" is like a foreign language to me. ;)
