You really can hang more than laundry.
There’s a new toy at my house. I call it a toy but we’ve been doing plenty of practical things with it too.
Did you know that my family gave up paper towels? That’s right, now we use s system of napkins and rags to take care of wiping faces, hands and cleaning up spills. It only adds a bit extra to the weekly wash, but his week I’ve taken to hanging my napkins on my new heavy duty drying rack to save a bit more money each week.

I decided to find other uses for my new rack. Laundry is of course, the most obvious way to use a heavy duty drying rack. Here in the south there are plenty of sunny days and this drying rack fits well on my back deck. Why wait for a weekly laundry load to use it, though? There must be other things it’s good for…
6 other ways to use a drying rack
- As a pasta drying rack – You could purchase a fancy pasta rack (and they are cool) but this foldable drying rack would work just as well. Here’s a post from Good Morning Gloucester to get you started.
- If you are crafty there are about 50 things you might consider hanging from your rack. I think it’s time to make beeswax dipped candles and hand them to dry. See how it’s done at Keeping Backyard Bees.
- As extra counter space. The gullwing arms are easily secured with locking bars at just about any angle you can think of. We’ve used it at the end of the counter for serving dishes and pans during a family gathering. It’s sturdy enough for the job.
- My new drying rack will make a great area to hang herbs to dry. See how to do it in this post about drying lavender.
- You can always put it by the pool to dry bathing suits and towels.
- Or put it by the fire to hang mittens and hats. It’s easily foldable and portable.
This giveaway is sponsored by Ohuhu and has a $70 value.

I would use this rack to dry the MANY pieces of clothing that need to be line dried. We seem to be getting more and more! It would also be great in the kitchen when I need more room for my Christmas baking!
Thanks for some great ideas and the giveaway!
Have tried various drying racks over the years and they’ve been rickety & fall apart easily. Would love to give another one a try! Pick me Pick me. 🙂
I would love to use this drying rack by the stove in the winter!
I would use this to hang up crafts that need to be dried, such as diy yarn balloons.
I got a pasta maker last year as a gift. I haven’t made any yet because I don’t have a way to dry it. But if I WON, I WOU:D!! I would LOVE to try making pasta and dry it on this drying rack! Oh, PS< My one year old dryer just up and died on me, and I have NO way to dry my clothes, either!!!!! (no, really!) I had just bought those dryer balls, and contacted the seller to say they didn’t work AT ALL, and then discovered the dryer heating element had bit the dust!! So, really I NEED this!!!!!
Thank you for the opportunity!
Oh, BTW, I don’t do social media, so don’t follow on Pinterest or Twitter or Facebook, but I DO subscribe to your newsletters…or I will in a few minutes. I do already subscribe to several and will sign up for the others right now.
Thanks again!
Besides line drying my delicate items, drying flowers and herbs would be nice. Right now I hang them from coat hangers in a dark closet. Many times they fall apart while attempting to remove the bunch from the hangers. Not real stable way to do it.
This is a great giveaway! I can’t wait to dry all of my yarn and rovings on it!
I love drying racks, but this is bigger and sturdier than my cheapie version!
I have been looking for a drying rack for quite some time. None met my criteria as they were too flimsy. This looks like a good sturdy rack. I’d use it this winter for drying clothes, as well as using it to dry herbs (and other goodies hubby gathers on his foraging trips!).
We don’t own a dryer so I would use this greatly!
i use a wooden one that belonged to my grandmother. I use this when I am doing repacks on some of my bulk purchases. I use the binder clips to hold bags and can fill a lot before I start to seal them. also I have one that had come apart so I mounted one section on the inside of the closet door and use for belts, ties, scarves an even some small hats.
This rack is something I’ve been wanting for a while now. It’s just what I need to dry the odd articles of clothing this winter.
Sharing this. and entering too! 🙂
I love using dryer racks all winter and sometimes I use on patio the rest of the year for undies and sometimes the dish towels and dish dryer mats, love to have all in the sun.
to dry light clothing items
I line dry as much as I can. This rack is awesome it would accommodate a lot more laundry. Thanks for the chance to win this prize.
I think the question is more like how wouldn’t I use this rack… Not only for the clothes, rags and towels; also for the pasta and drying of herbs. Great ideas.
I hate using my drying and miss having a drying rack!!
🙂
Oh I’d use it every day!! Wish we could afford one… Maybe I could build something like it!
When el nino hits, we’ll be needing something to perch by the woodstove for drying clothes – especially if the power goes out (which it does a lot in the mountains).
Love to be able to use this in the kitchen when canning, laundry room for handwashes, and sewing room for quilt pieces
Ah hope ah hope ah hope I win?
I have a wood laundry rack that is starting to sag after 8 years… I use it for laundry in the winter and drying a multitude of outdoor gear the rest of the year.
Will have to try drying pasta on it.
This would work during rainy and/or extremely cold weather to hang wash cloths and dish cloths on to dry as well as the hand towels. I do latch hook and this could hold my finished work while I still work on the rest of it. I also crochet and for large items (afghans, table cloths, etc.) this would be just perfect to hold the finished part while I was still working on the rest of it. Give me a little more time and I can probably come up with a lot more uses, in addition to drying laundry on it.
I would use it for the winter drying and herbs!
I would use it for drying clothes, primarily, but drying pasta and herbs may happen too. I already hang dry in the house but I don’t have anything that is this nice.
Would love this as I love to put some clothes drying outside on a line & would be able to use this in the house for other items + a great place to hang some herbs on to dry those out!
Definitely would use for my laundry to dry
Besides using it to dry clothes I would use this as I piece quilt blocks together.
I would use the drying rack for drying clothes (live in NE Iowa) in the winter by the wood stove. I also want to learn how to make pasta, bought a roller but haven’t used it yet, so I will need a place to dry my pasta! Thanks for his give away!
I always hang my clothes to dry.. I could also use to put my quilting squares on after I press them.
I use drying racks in the winter to put humidity in the air. I am challenged with the idea of using them for more than clothing. This model looks very practical.
I would love to have this when the electricity goes out!! Usually at least once every winter!
This rack would be awesome for drying all my delicates and workout clothes, as none of those items ever goes in the dryer. My tiny laundry room is so inefficient, but using a drying rack could help streamline the process!
In my laundry room and for crafting.
Keep trying to find ways to reduce use of dryter. This would be a good supplement for the other methods used to dry smaller items.
Ingenious!
Such great ideas! Thanks for the chance to win and good luck to everyone’
I would use this during the winter to dry my clothes. I love to do things off grid to save money and to not get too comfy. thanks for a lovely giveaway.
to dry my delicates and other clothing that I want to air dry
Trying to save some money by using it to dry clothes after I hand wash it. I moved recently and I don’t have same the space I used to have.
We get so much wind here. This would keep our stuff from blowing away.
I will give it to my mom, who lives dryer free.
Oh, this is an awesome looking dryer rack! Too many rainy days lately with no dryer. Who knew a dryer rack could be so versatile? Awesome!
Blessings!

Clothes drying,and arts and crafts.
This rack would be great for drying herbs. I’d probably also use it to dry clothes when it’s rainy or too cold out.
I would use this to dry towels.
I would use it to dry clothes so I can save energy by not having to use my dryer.
We hang most all our shirts to dry. This would be great to use for doing that.
Awesome drying rack!!! I would use it for everything and for all four seasons. Thanks
I think I would give (lend) to my daughter at college to save a bit of dryer quarters
I would use it to dry more clothes (I have one already). I only use my dryer to dry blankets so this rack would speed up my wash day 🙂
This rack would be great for swimsuits and shirts that I do not want to put in the dryer.
I would use it to dry the kids shirts. Thanks for the giveaway.
We Air dry a lot of our clothes but we don’t really have a good way of drying things that need to be flat. This would be perfect! And I’m sure I could probably find other uses also when it’s not being used for that.
This would be so nice for all the wash cloths and kitchen towels.
This would be great when traveling. I can see packing in my car! I love the idea as a drying rack and I always need a place to dry my tennis shoes. Love it. Thank you
as much as I repurpose and dual purpose everything, my reason is for clothes first and foremost 🙂
I would use it to dry my clothes, especially during the summer. I rent and can’t have a clothesline.
I would use to help me dry my baby’s clothes, he is always getting his clothes dirty and this would help a lot since we don’t have a dryer in our apartment
looks great for rainy days!
Brings back memories.
I would dry clothes, maybe pasta, but lavender sounds lovely as well.
I will definitely use this to dry my laundry. I unplugged my dryer two years ago and have indoor and outdoor clothes lines. This would greatly reduce the ‘congestion’ during the winter!
I will use it to save energy using my dryer this winter.
I would use this to hang clothing or to hang paintings to dry.
I’d use this to hang wet clothes that can’t go in the dryer!
Would definitely get used for clothes. You can never have too many drying racks when you are doing laundry.
I can think of a million things that I could and would use this for but most importantly if I won this then I could finally get rid of the dryer. I would literally use this for everything! 🙂
I have wanted a good drying rack for quite some time, however, we are in the middle of a tight budget right now to help us reach a goal of debt free. Still have about 6 months to go, so I have a wish list going. This would be an item for the list, as I now try to buy quality vs immediate fix. Lessons learned!
I will use it in my laundry room to dry my delicate clothes that cannot dry in the dryer!
i would put this in my laundry room!
