during the rainy summers i do the same except without the heater - i just put the clothes horse on either the kitchen table or on the spare bed (they're not in my way then) with the windows open, or hang the jeans on hangers on the curtain rail in the spare room.

very happy with this system!


Thanks Thelma, we have no dryer so was just looking for some alternatives from the hot press. Think i will be hanging clothes downstairs at night in the same room as the fire and hopefully they will be dry by the morning!
