The answer to all your laundry, and space, woes!
With buildings being sandwiched close, a lack of ventilation and sunlight poses a huge problem in getting your clothes dried. Of course, you could use a dryer. But, you’ll be trading the longevity of your garments for convenience. Not to mention that it takes up a huge amount of space in a shrinking service yard.
That’s why automated laundry racks have become the favourite solution to laundry woes. You’ll be able to dry your clothes inside your home, without destroying them, sacrificing your space or breaking your back while you haul your poles! Here are some of our top finds:
1. For the all-in-one | Steigen
As one of the leading brands, Steigen requires little introduction. And their Solar series has everything you could possibly need in a laundry rack. As you can guess from the name, the systems utilise solar heat to eliminate all the bad stuff – germs, bacteria, even the wet musty smells that lingers when you hang your clothes indoors.
Of course, we need to talk about the perks as well! The racks come with a dust mite repeller (no more allergies!), and ionisers for extra odour control. Coupled with their fabric care technology that makes your clothes fluffier, it covers all the bases so you can do your laundry worry-free.
Plus, the German brand has completely embraced the smart home concept! You can pair their racks with the mobile app for control anywhere, at any time.
2. For compact spaces | Varlux
For those who’re working with a really tight space, hope comes in the form of a 0.8m laundry rack from Varlux – that’s smaller than the already compact 0.9m Solar Mini.
Despite its compact size, there are no compromises made to the efficiency. It’s able to withstand a huge load of laundry (up to 38kg!), and get it dry with the help of a cast aluminium motor fan.
Varlux also stocks racks in other sizes, and some of them come with UV lights to disinfect your garments too!
3. For extra capacity | Yuhome
Of course, optimising the space in your home is one thing, and maximising the space on the rack is another. Featuring a unique ladder design, Yuhome’s options provide additional capacity. Even the poles are extendable (up to 2.4m) – you can hang even more clothes on it than on your average bamboo pole!
These racks also come with a few additional perks including solar-heat air drying and UV disinfection, just to name a few.
4. For (safe) UV disinfection | Orlant
What’s the best method to dry clothes and eliminate bacteria if the sun isn’t out? With the help of UV rays. But too much of it can be harmful for your skin.
However, Orlant’s selection of laundry racks have already taken that into consideration. With a radiation range of 1.5m, it kills up to 99.99% of germs while being much gentler on the skin and eyes. In fact, it’s safe for both kids and pets too!
5. For a brighter option | Oikia.sg
If you’re living in a home with a darker palette, the ARL-10 from Oikia.sg is a must-have. Though the retractable and safety features are pretty standard, there’s one key difference that sets it apart from the rest: its 36-inch LED light panel. With this, illuminating your space is possible without an additional ceiling light.
Oikia.sg carries two other models – the ARH-13 and ARF-13. Each system has its own set of unique features, so you can find one that best suits your needs.
6. For maximum drying efficiency | Mensch
Ran into the issue where the top halves of your clothes are dry to the touch while the bottom hems are damp? That’s because drying does not happen evenly. To this end, M1X from Mensch has an all-round heating system.
Hook it up to the Mijia app to control the laundry system functions and get your laundry done in no time! They also come with retractable and bedsheet poles, and small hooks to support at least 2 cycles of wash load!
In case your ceiling height isn’t tall enough to use the M1X at its full capacity, there are other options from Mensch that come with heaters and fans.
7. For a child-friendly alternative | GoodWife
What if you have young children at home? GoodWife’s Luxe model comes with a child lock control. You can toggle the feature to prevent them from misusing the system, and, more importantly, to keep them safe.
In addition to that, there are sensors inbuilt within to enable smart detection. One touch is all you need to stop and lift the rack, all without using the remote controller.
And now, you can get up to 10% off any purchase on GoodWife! All you need to do is to submit an enquiry here!
