A drying rack is a stand used to air-dry laundry, dishes, or other items like herbs and pasta by holding them up for proper air circulation. Also known as a clothes horse, it is a common alternative to clotheslines or tumble dryers and is available in various types, such as freestanding, wall-mounted, or foldable, and made from materials like metal or wood. Using a drying rack saves energy and is gentler on delicate clothes compared to machine dryers. A drying rack is a stand used to air-dry laundry, dishes, or other items like herbs and pasta by holding them up for proper air circulation.
