Benefits of Air Drying

Are you sick of drying many loads of clothes in the dryer?  There are some great benefits in air drying your clothes in the winter.  It adds moisture to the air, which can help with the dry air in your home.  There are other great benefits too.  Keep reading and check out apartment therapy.



  • Air drying reduces static cling that can be really, really, bad in the dry winter air. No need for chemical fabric softeners.
  • Air drying introduces moisture into the air, which is much needed during the dry winter months.
  • I find that air drying in the winter can actually be quicker than running a load in the dryer. The dryer traps moisture inside and can take forever. Towels, especially, can benefit from an air drying and then a quick fluff on tumble dry to soften them up.
If you're sold, these are five collapsible racks that I love. I just received the second one as a gift and use it constantly:
  1. OXO adjustable drying rack at Crate & Barrel, $69.95
  2. Madison Mill wooden drying rack at Amazon, $40
  3. Folding Umbrella Wall Clothes Drying Rack by Cottage Craft Works, $125
  4. Mama wood drying rack at HipVilla, $366
  5. 8-Dowel Drying Rack at The Container Store, $9.99
Do you air dry your clothing in the winter? Moreso than in the summer, even?
