2009-02-04

Why settle for cold and possibly damp towels when you can cuddle up with a nice warm fresh dry towel after every shower or bath?   Try a little self indulgence with a towel warmer.  There is nothing more gratifying than using a warm dry towel after a bath or shower.  Not only do towel warmers add a contemporary style to any bathroom, they are also very functional. 

The obvious place for a towel warmer, having one or more in a bathroom not only dries towels, the rack will keep dampness and mildew under control. They are especially useful in a poorly ventilated room. In high humidity seasons, the warmers will keep towels from smelling musty and also help keep mold and mildew growth under control.

Using a towel warmer gives clothing and towels a comfortable, gently heated feel. Be aware that things warmed on a heated drying rack won't have a "hot out of the dryer" feel, but rather a gentle, comforting heat. This makes the units ideal for warming baby blankets and bedding.

In addition to drying and comfort, towel warmers actually help the environment. If you are concerned about "going green" and using less energy, warmers on average use less electricity. According to Warmrails, a company that specializes in towel warmers, their warmers use only about 10% of the wattage of a clothes dryer. Not only does the drying rack keep laundry usage down, using one can actually save money in energy usage cost.

Most people will purchase their first towel warmer for design style or comfort. The units give a bathroom and upscale and modern look, whether they are wall mounted or free standing on a floor. However, after using one, lots of homeowners install more because of the many benefits and functions of towel warmers.
