As the weather continues to cool, most Brits are moving from line drying their washing to airing it out indoors.
And if you’re stuck for space or don’t like the look of bulky airers, you’re in luck.
B&Q shoppers can pick up an affordable item that helps to dry laundry without taking up much space in your home.
The Retractable Washing Line Reel is currently available for just £8.49.
This wall mounted clothesline includes fittings designed for heavy duty loads.
Offering up to 2.8m of drying space, this buy is described as “the ultimate solution for efficient laundry drying”.
According to the product description, the clothesline is “crafted with durable stainless steel” and is “built to last”.
The washing line is said to feature a “smooth and reliable roller mechanism that makes extending and retracting the line a breeze”.
While it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it’s perfect for small spaces this winter.
And you don’t need to be particularly handy for this buy as it is “easy-to-install” and comes with all the “necessary fittings and user-friendly instructions”.
Manufacturers described the washing line as a “practical ally for your laundry routine”.
“Your retractable washing line will be ready to embrace your laundry in no time, promising an easy and convenient experience,” the product description read.
Tailored for small spaces, the retractable line maximises your room’s efficiency.
And if you’d prefer to install this device outdoors, it has been engineered to withstand the elements, making it a “reliable companion that stands the test of time with resilience”.
This buy doesn’t just have to be for your laundry, you can also use it to hang towels and other outdoor items.

Tackling laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it:

- Indoor Drying Rack: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.
- Tumble Dryer Balls: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.
- Space-Saving Hangers: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.
