Have you considered upgrading your traditional laundry rack?

We see plenty of bamboo poles hanging inside and outside of HDB flats in Singapore, but that’s not all there is! There are other types of laundry racks that are available for you to choose from for your new house.

In this article, we take a closer look at a few types of laundry racks in Singapore:

– Three-Fold Laundry Drying Rack

Most 2- or 3-fold laundry drying racks are made of stainless steel. These racks are durable and ideal for drying heavier textiles like denim pants. 

Simply hang dry your items by draping them over the steel rods or lying them flat where required. However, you should note that despite it being stainless steel, it can still rust, especially if you use it outside of your home.

Since it’s foldable and slim, you can transport it anywhere with you easily or store it without taking up too much space. This makes it ideal for those living in rented homes or with minimal space to spare.

Plus, it’s also highly affordable, if it’s great if you’re on a budget.

– Smart Laundry System

A smart laundry rack is a revolutionary invention that checks all of a modern homeowner’s requirements for a reliable and lasting drying system.

It can be mounted on the ceiling, which means that it takes up minimal space as compared to other laundry racks that are placed on the ground. Intelligent laundry drying systems come with an impressive variety of cool functions and features, like GoodLiving’s:

• Dust mite and bacteria-eliminating function
• Dual heat and fan drying options
• Built-in LED and UV light sensors
• Exceptional build quality and motor
• Mobile app and voice control

Although it can be pricier than other traditional laundry racks, it is a sound investment that is suitable for use for young adults to the elderly.

– 3-tier Clothes Rail Drying Rack

Think of this laundry rack as an ‘upgraded’ version of the 3-fold laundry rack. It comes with more laundry drying space and can also be folded in some areas.

Like the 3-tier laundry rack, it’s also usually made of either stainless steel or plastic. The 6 retractable trails and 2 detachable side wings give you extra hanging space all around.

You can use the wheels at the bottom to manoeuvre it around the house or outside easily instead of lifting it off the floor. When you’re not using it, you can also fold it so that it doesn’t take up too much space.

It also doesn’t cost much, although it typically costs more than the 3-tier laundry rack.

– Ceiling Mounted Aluminium Drying Rack

This is most likely the type of laundry rack you’ve grown up seeing – whether from your mother or grandmother doing the laundry. This simple rack holds long bamboo poles that can be hung indoors and outdoors.

It’s as simple as it gets – simply hang your wet laundry on the poles and hook it onto the curved areas. It’s also very affordable and saves space since it’s mounted on the wall.

However, there are certain problems, like the manual effort needed to hoist the poles. It may also lack effectiveness if the clothes are dried indoors during rainy days.

– Wall Mounted Laundry Drying Rack

The last on our list is the fairly simple wall mounted laundry rack. Unlike the ceiling version, this type is mounted onto the side wall instead of the ceiling.

It can either be an accordion style or a static fixed design. The accordion version can be retracted to save space or if you want a cleaner look when you’re not using it.

– A Smart Laundry System is the Way to Go

When it comes to something that you use frequently, it makes more sense to look at it as a long-term investment.

This is why the smart laundry rack makes an intelligent choice for homeowners who can afford it. It will help to make daily chores much simpler and easier by leveraging on the wonders of technology!
