CARBON FREE CLOTHES DRYING - FROM BRABANTIA
Environmentalists, politicians and power companies around the globe are striving to find carbon neutral ways of generating electricity, and spending millions of dollars trying to make solar, wind and wave power viable.

In the meantime, fossil fuel or nuclear power generation is still being used to create the electricity needed to run your tumble drier. But there is already an alternative: wind and solar powered clothes drying!
This simple and highly effective method of drying clothes has been around for years - long before electricity was invented! - and of course, clothes dried outside in the sunshine smell fresher, too.
Brabantia has been developing products to harness the earth’s natural resources for many years, and today offers a wide range of solutions.
Rotaries - convenient drying in the garden
There are five different Brabantia models to choose from, each offering ‘free’ fresh air drying: Compact, Topspinner, Lift-o-Matic, Lift-o-Matic Advance and SmartLift.
With a wide range of features and options - a line length of 30, 40, 50 or a massive 60 metres, 3 or 4 arms, easy-lifting, height adjustability, protections covers and even a garage stand for indoor drying - there’s a Brabantia Rotary to suit your weekly laundry needs, size of garden and budget.
All Rotaries are backed by a 5 year guarantee, and range in price from around £53 to £160.

Wall-Fix - for clothes drying in the smallest of spaces - outdoors or in
Whether you have a small garden, or just prefer a lawn free of wet washing, now you can dry your clothes discretely outside in the sunshine with the innovative WallFix clothes dryer.

WallFix clothes drier |
|||||||||||||||||||
This handy wall-mounted dryer will fit even the smallest outdoor area, and folds away into a compact, space-saving unit. Just unfold the dryer with a simple one-handed movement for a drying length of 24 metres - that’s a full machine load of laundry.
Easy to install, each WallFix clothes dryer is supplied with a wall bracket, fixing materials and clear step-by-step instructions, while a protective cover will keep the dryer clean when not in use.
And to provide indoor drying on rainy days, a WallFix can also be wall-mounted in the laundry, utility room or garage. It retails at around £94, and comes with a 5 year guarantee.

It is also suitable for longer items such as dresses, jeans, trousers and nightwear.
The Bathroom drying rack costs around £84, and as with the Door drying rack, is supported by an extremely long 10-year guarantee.
