You know you’ve reached a ripe old age when one of the best things about summer is the rate at which clothes can get dry in record time.

Seriously, it’s addictive. Three loads washed, dried, and folded away in a single day? It’s an unbeatable high.

But winter makes it harder to get things dry in a hurry, and tumble dryers or heated airers can make your energy bills soar.

That’s why Dunelm’s Over Radiator Airers are such a jammy find. If you’ve already got the heating on, this two-pack will only set you back an extra £2.75, and gets your smaller items dry pronto.

Pack of 2 Over Radiator White Airers

Make laundry day easier with this 2-pack of Over Radiator Airers. Lightweight and compact, they hook neatly over your radiator to speed up drying – no bulky stands or sunshine required.

Hanging clothes directly onto your radiator may seem like a smart idea, but it actually blocks the heat from circulating around your house, and the direct heat can cause damage to delicate clothing. 

An over-radiator airer is much safer and more energy efficient, and Dunelm’s affordable option is so highly rated. 

They’re small and lightweight, plus customers say they’re easy to put together. The hooked design can fit over most standard radiators, and the rubber stops keep things in place and avoid any scratches. 

‘This was a quick, cost-effective solution to a problem we had with towels getting musty,’ Elphie said in her online review. 

‘Our cloakroom isn’t well ventilated and there is only a single towel rail. As a result, damp towels don’t dry properly and get stinky. This rack hooks over the rail and allows more air to circulate round the towel, keeping it fresher. It’s the perfect size, the rubber stops don’t damage the wall and it’s very sturdy for the price. As there are two in the pack, we have a spare. It solved our problem – thank you Dunelm!’

‘Very simple design and would fit most radiators, price is amazing, two in the pack?, wow! just what we were looking for, well done Dunelm. JB,’ John added in his feedback.

‘I wouldn’t be without them!’ Charlie’sMum said in her review online. 

Dunelm also sells a fold-out design for more drying space for just a fiver. The arms are also adjustable for a perfect fit, and it’s easy to disassemble and pack away when you’re not using it.

Buckle up, guys, looks like we’re in for some serious drying.
