I get a lot of use out of a simple mitten drying rack! I use it to dry my rubber gloves after cleaning, my ziploc bags that I wash and save, dish towels (which do not dry very fast in the kitchen). I also put my grandson's little wet shoes on the mitten tree. I like to put the "tree" out on the front or back porch to dry in the fresh air. This saves space and drying time.
