Aldi is bringing back its heated clothes airer next week

The summer officially over, a few day-to-day tasks start to become more of an inconvenience.

Your dog's morning walks are even colder, picking the kids up from school is a nightmare in the rain, and the weather is no longer playing ball when it comes to hanging out the washing.

Fortunately, Aldi has the perfect solution for the latter.

Yes, the budget supermarket is once again selling its wildly popular heated clothes airer - a must-have product for those of us without a tumble dryer.

The ingenious product's official description on the Aldi website reads:

"Sometimes, popping your washing out on the line is not an option, especially when it comes to the unreliability of the weather!

"This Easy Home 230W Heated Airer is great for those rainy days when the washing line is out of action.

"All 20 bars of the airer are heated for quality drying of clothes, towels, and bedding, and the lightweight foldable design means that it can be stored away easily in-between uses."

In addition, this "simple and practical" airer features 20 heating bars - and considering I'm working from home right now and haven't worn proper pants in the last four months, I figure that'll be fine.

But it's not just useful for clothes, as it also speeds up the drying process for sheets and towels. Also, it can be folded down for easy storage.

The Easy Home Heated Airer is available online (here) and in-store from September 13 for a bargain £28.99.

Oh, and with the three-year warranty, you can certainly buy in confidence.

As somebody who doesn't have a dryer and can have clothes hanging around the house for days, I am definitely going to take advantage of this product.
