Towel Rack Washing Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ventus Towel Dryer Hanger Refreshes Terry Cloth Between Uses

— February 26, 2013 — Unique
It seems silly to wash a towel after each use, considering you tend to pat yourself dry when you're completely clean; nevertheless, wet fabric left to sit can start to smell mildewy and actually render you dirty again after your next shower.

The Ventus Towel Dryer Hanger doesn't just facilitate the removal of water in the material, it also sanitizes the fabric. A set of integrated UV lights zaps anything unpleasant that might begin to grow within the weave while it's dehydrated by means of the many holes releasing hot air. The process proposed by Seung Hyun Lee for the Ventus towel rack deodorizes as well, so you can get away with more uses between proper washes.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Innovations - Developing towel racks that incorporate UV lights and hot air to sanitize and deodorize towels between uses.
2. Sustainable Bathroom Accessories - Creating towel racks that encourage reusability and reduce water and energy consumption by prolonging the time between towel washes.
3. Hygiene-focused Home Appliances - Integrating UV lights and sanitization features into various household items, such as towel racks, to promote cleanliness and minimize bacterial growth.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - Manufacturing companies that produce towel racks, dryers, and other home appliances can explore incorporating UV lights and hot air to create innovative and hygienic products.
2. Hospitality and Spa - Hotels, resorts, and spas can benefit from installing towel racks with sanitization features to enhance cleanliness and hygiene for guests and customers.
3. Sustainable Living - Companies focused on sustainable living can explore the development of towel racks that promote reusability and reduce water and energy consumption in the bathroom.
