How happy can it make you I ask? Can happiness come from simply installing a wall-mounted airer? Does it multiply when you install two as a double-decker or side-by-side formation?
Happiness, they say, comes from within but surroundings and circumstances certainly help. The laundry is an ever pressing challenge and we all try to find ways to "get in the zone" when doing household chores, especially ironing.
The laundry airer takes away the stress of bad weather or dark winter nights because it is a permanent drying system always available to you whatever the season, temperature, wind or weather conditions. Constant reliability is something we all long for in our vehicles, in our work colleagues and especially in our partners and family.
Life should be like a windscreen wiper. One flick of the switch and the screen is clear, all is forgiven and we start all over again.
So it is with the clothes airer. No matter what we say, how angry we get, no matter what life conditions threaten, the humble wall-mounted airer carries on. The Utility Company switches of the power but we simply needn’t care because our clothes will be dried. Of course the tumble dryer is a helpful tool except it is very expensive to run. Not only in its running costs but also in the way it increases our carbon footprint. It simply has no mind to think with. Even fitted with a thermostatic sensor it can only detect when all the clothes are completely dry and not when individual items are ready. Also so much time needs to be spent separating the clothes into equal drying types that drying becomes a chore and an expensive chore at that.
Today we are faced with so much evidence of global warming that we are all under pressure to make changes in our lifestyle. There are even companies selling carbon offsets where you give a financial contribution to a charity for driving your car or taking a flight.
Well that’s all very well but it does imply guilt and that is one of the prime causes of unhappiness. Fine if you like that but when you can sing and dance and even cavort if you want to then why not simply install an energy free, carbon free clothes airer and be happy.
