Airer

What is an "airer?

An airer is a device or structure used for drying or airing clothes, towels, and other fabrics. It can take various forms, including a clothesline, a drying rack, or an electric airer. The primary purpose of an airer is to provide adequate ventilation to dry the fabrics quickly, which helps prevent mustiness and mold growth. Clotheslines and drying racks are typically made of wood or metal and are collapsible for easy storage. Electric airers are designed to provide the same benefits but with added convenience, as they can be used indoors and take up less space than a traditional clothesline or rack. Some airers may also have special features, such as adjustable height or fan-assisted drying.
