Practical clothes horse for the bathtub convince with several advantages. If the main clothes rack is on the balcony in summer, then the towels or hand washing dry in the bathroom. The clothes horse for the bathtub is very small when not in use and is there when you need it.
In winter, the laundry dries much faster in the heated bathroom and the large clothes horse does not stand around in the apartment. Of course, the bathtub drying rack is available in different qualities. We'll show you what to look for when buying.
Tumble dryer for the bathtub
The length and quality of the clothesline is certainly a decisive purchase criterion for many. Clothesline is not correct, because it is a question of clothes rods. These are thin, slightly flexible metal rods on which the laundry hangs. And that's where the quality differences begin.
While some tumble dryers have very thin rods, others convince with robust rods. The comparison is important, especially when heavy items of laundry are to hang on it. If you only want to hang up thin tea towels or light underwear in the bathroom, then any model is sufficient. If, on the other hand, you want wool sweaters to slowly drip out after hand washing, then sturdy drying bars are important. That's the only way he has Bath dryer also long life.
Clothes horse over the bathtub
Incidentally, this is one of the great advantages of the tumble dryer for the bathtub. The dripping water runs into the bathtub and not on the floor. This is particularly important for delicate laundry that you cannot wring or spin strongly.
Because the wool sweater from hand washing still has a lot of water that slowly drips off. Out in the garden this is certainly not a problem. But not everyone has a garden. In addition, even the largest garden is of no use for drying laundry in winter. In both summer and winter, the water drips cleanly from the drying rack directly into the bathtub - regardless of whether you spin the laundry heavily or hang it up dripping wet.
The weight of the laundry
The wet wool sweater in our example is very heavy. If the drying bars are of the cheapest quality, they will simply break, tear or rust away. A more stable model is therefore advisable if you want to dry this type of hand wash frequently. It looks different with large bath towels.
They also have weight, but something else: width and length. If you want to dry your bath towels on the clothes horse above the bathtub after showering, you should choose a suitably wide and high model. Most bathtub dryers come on the bathtub in a triangular shape. This means that the feet rest on opposite sides of the bathtub, with the middle being the highest.
For large bath towels, we recommend a model that rests on one side on the edge of the bathtub. At the other end, however, the tumble dryer is high on the wall. That brings height just for long trousers, dresses or large towels.
It all depends on the length
Weight and shape are important when buying a clothes horse for the bathtub. But the length of the clothesline can also make the difference. If you only want to dry a couple of washcloths or a sweater, then each model is certainly sufficient in length.
It looks different, for example, in a single household. If there is no balcony or laundry room, the laundry has to dry in the apartment, both in summer and in winter. To do this, the tumble dryer must have space for an entire load of the washing machine. However, very few dryers have that. The folding models mostly have ten meters of line. That is not even a little. Due to the inclined folding shape, however, not too much fit next to each other.
You then have two options: to buy a larger and usually more expensive model or to put two or three tumble dryers next to each other on the bathtub.
Flexible clothes horse
There are also narrow drying racks that you can put in the bathtub. You do this in winter when it's too cold outside. Otherwise, the narrow clothes horse can also be placed in other rooms, in the large shower or on the balcony or in the garden. Such a narrow clothes horse is practical in the single household or for small laundry in between.
However, it is nothing for the extended family. Pull-out tumble dryers for the bathtub offer an alternative. They offer around ten meters of space for a few parts. If you need the rack as a tumble dryer for all your laundry in winter, it can easily be pulled out to double the surface.
For all bathtubs tumble dryers
Do you have a classic, elongated bathtub at home? Then, in principle, all common clothes horse will fit on your bathtub. The situation is different with whirlpools or corner baths. You cannot do anything with the usual, set-up folding model, as you need two opposite sides for it. With such a bathtub, measuring is required.
Because you can also lay the tumble dryer flat on the bathtub. It is only important that all four ends are in contact with the edge of the bathtub. However, one side can survive without any problems. You can still hang your laundry. However, this limits you when it comes to the choice of laundry.
Clothes dryer with little space requirement
Simply lay the hand-washed wool sweater flat on it, as well as a large towel. However, you can only hang small parts that are no longer than the height of the bathtub. Another option could be a model that you can place on one side of the wall, similar to a ladder.
For this you should measure carefully before buying. For large, round bathtubs or the models with a quarter circle shape, a stand on feet in the bathtub is suitable. You can then also put it outside in summer. Another alternative are wall-mounted tumble dryers that you simply mount over the bathtub.
The right clothes horse
In principle, there is a suitable tumble dryer for every bathtub and every need. All models for drying your laundry have one thing in common: They can be stored to save space. You simply slide in the wall models, all that remains is a narrow box above the bathtub.
The foldable bathtub dryer can be removed with one hand movement and folded up to save space. So it fits behind every door, but even in cupboards. Alternatively, you can simply attach a wall hook over your washing machine and hang it there. Because the flexibly adjustable clothes horse for the bathtub also do their job on the machine or the kitchen sink.
If you prefer to dry your laundry inside in winter and outside in summer, you can use a slim wall stand. It is particularly narrow in the bathtub as well as in a corner when folded. And in summer he goes out on the balcony or in the garden.
