Even with access to a washing machine, I prefer to do a good part of my laundry by hand.
The problem with doing hand laundry in an RV is where to hang the clothes after. I have a big drying rack, but there’s no good place to put it now that the dinette is gone (I’d set up the rack between the seats).
I sometimes put my Swiffer across the top of my shower (a standard broom is too long) to hold hangers, but most of the stuff I wash by hand is underwear and socks and draping everything over hangers doesn’t work that well.
This week, I found the solution to my drying needs, a 24 clip drying rack that I can hang from the Swiffer in the shower:
What I like about it is that it holds 24 items, which is about a week’s worth of hand laundry for me, and that the items are spaced apart to dry quickly. The clips are built in, so when my clothes are dry, I can just fold the rack and tuck it out of the way. A clothesline would not have given me as much space to hang things in such a small footprint.
If I want to use the shower, I can just grab the rack by the hook and place it in the sink in one step rather than wrestling with a bunch of hangers or taking down a clothesline.
If I have overflow, I can hang a few extra items from the Swiffer itself and I still have room to hang about 10 tops on hangers from the door frame. It’s so nice to finally have found a way to contain my drying laundry. I’m less tempted now to let it pile it up!
