Hopefully, you're clued up on how to do laundry with all the laundry tips you'll need as you head off to college. But, without the outdoor space to harness the benefits of air-drying laundry in your dorm, you'll need to dry your clothes indoors.

For this, our top pick is the Joseph Joseph Eclipse indoor clothes airer, which is perfect for tiny spaces. For starters, it folds fully flat for storage behind the dorm room door or under the bed, making it easy to pack up and put away when it's not needed, even if your dorm room is on the small side.

And, while compact to store, there's plenty of space for all your drying needs, with three adaptable and individually foldable wire shelves suitable for drying a wide variety of clothing, from small tops and skirts to longer dresses, trousers, and towels.

In fact, as one satisfied shopper says in their retailer review, it 'holds tons of washing' so it's no surprise that they're 'really pleased with it.'

It's also equipped with wheels for easy and convenient portability, and features a heavy-gauge steel construction with a stylish fabric exterior, so you can enjoy your dorm room space without the eyesore of drying laundry. It's a unique and discreet addition which we love.

So, if you've been on the hunt for a product that's made for drying clothes in a small space, look no further.
