drying rack

Where laundry hangs

A drying rack is a frame or stand for air-drying items—typically laundry or dishes.

Clothes drying racks fold out with bars or lines for hanging wet garments indoors.

Dish drying racks sit beside sinks to hold washed dishes while water drips off.

The design varies by purpose, but all provide a structure that allows air circulation.
