Prefab houses: Leroy Merlin sells them for less than 12,000 euros
When it rains for days, households often struggle with drying laundry. In damp climates, people look for practical solutions to keep garments fresh and ready to wear without waiting for ideal sunshine. One common approach is to install a simple indoor drying option or to use a dehumidifier in the laundry or utility area to accelerate drying. This keeps clothes from staying damp and helps prevent musty odors that can develop in poorly ventilated rooms.
For many, the traditional method remains a compact clothesline, but there are clever add-ons that can improve efficiency. A homemade trick sometimes shared is to place a dehumidifier in the drying space to speed up moisture removal. Such practices can provide quick relief on rainy days and help maintain wardrobe readiness without relying on outdoor conditions.
But if neither a traditional line nor a dehumidifier fully satisfies, there is another option: an electric clothesline. At Leroy Merlin, shoppers can find an affordable model crafted from lightweight aluminum with a compact build and a modest power draw. Users simply plug it in, hang the laundry, and wait a shorter time for drying compared to a standard line. The unit measures about 95 cm in height, 55 cm in width, and 75 cm in depth, offering a practical footprint for compact spaces. This solution is especially appealing for those seeking a quick indoor drying method that fits well in small rooms or apartments.
Reviews online often highlight the product as a reliable choice for urgent drying on rainy days. Some users note that it gets quite warm and that the warmth value aligns with the price, suggesting it functions well as a supplementary drying aid rather than a sole solution. A few comments mention a desire for the bars to radiate a bit more heat, but overall the consensus points to a satisfying balance between cost and performance.

One option on offer is a vinyl floor model priced at €36.99, though stock may fluctuate. An alternative version shares similar specifications but comes in a larger footprint: height 73 cm, width 158 cm, and depth 52.5 cm. This larger unit maintains the same power capabilities while incorporating two extendable arms for increased reach, with a current price around €77.99. Some buyers have cautioned that longer drying times can diminish value, and others have expressed concerns about electricity consumption when used for extended periods.
In conversations and reviews, a recurring theme emerges: select the model that matches the space and workload without overprocessing energy use. The larger version with dual outer arms is especially noted for handling bigger loads, though users sometimes debate whether the extra capacity justifies the additional cost.
