Clothes Drying

Snakebite the 2nd

Having spoken to my work, they are willing to get something that will help with the drying of cycle clothing in the winter months.

Does anyone know of anything available, like a big airer I guess, that could be used?

I know this is a very open ended question, but it really a case of I'll know what I am looking for when I see it.

How does everyone cope at work themselves?

We have one at our office, its a beko drying cabinet, it looks a bit like a big fridge/freezer.

It's really good.

Have you a model number?
I have googled "beko drying machine" but to no avail.

Thanks for the reply though.
(It maybe Monday before I get a look at any replies as I leave at 2, so please don't think I'm rude by not replying sooner!).

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to hang my kit up!

This is how I dry it:

Dry in ~20 minutes

This looks OK. A lot cheaper than a drying cabinet.

Air conditioned server room does the trick for me. I can imagine that wouldn't go down so well with some other network admins though.....

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can get work to buy me one of these for the office. Cheaper than those £800 drying cabinets.

At work its not an issue for me but at home I bought a cheap dehumidifier from lidl, works great at drying clothes.

My locker in work is right by the shower cubicles so every day I hang my shorts, jersey and shoes up on hooks on the side of the cubicle. I bought some suction hooks to hang clothes on so when it's wet I use a few more hooks and use both walls of the cubicle.

tHANKS FOR THE HELP, APPRECIATED.

We have problems at work, they don't really like stuff hanging up too much, it makes the place look untidy.

During the winter months we have a radiator in the toilets/changing room and a hot pipe running along the ceiling, but it can get a bit crowded with everyone drying coats etc.

I asked about sorting something, and the response was positive, but I am trying to work out the best way to achieve what we can.

+1 for this...we got one of these last year and they are excellent but do need to be vented outside.

check with your local council as we actually got a grant to pay for it via its "local sustainable transport scheme" They were trying to encourage people to commute via bike rather than car. I know other businesses to obtain grants to fit showers and buy bikes to be used by employees. Worth a look.

It's the same problem at my place. They're brilliant about accommodating our needs - lockers, showers, etc - but a bit fussy about keeping kit hidden. Don't want to bring wet kit into the (open plan) office due to the smell :oops:
