One thing to consider as you shop for a drying rack is how many bottles you want to be able to hold at once. Drying racks range in terms of how much space they offer for drying and how many pieces they can hold at once. In all likelihood, larger drying racks will take up more space, but they will offer you the most possible room for drying as many pieces as possible.
Another thing to think about is what sort of surface you want on your drying rack. Like we talked about above, many surfaces will have small pieces or studs across the surface that can hold items off of the surface, which can help let in more air to aid in the drying process. Other surfaces will feature a grass-like substance that holds bottles softly in place. Some drying racks may even have multiple tiers stacked on top of each other.
Lastly, you might want to consider how easily your drying rack can be stored or put away anytime it’s not in use. Some drying racks will be able to fold into smaller sizes, and this will help when storing them in a cabinet or placing them behind another kitchen appliance. Other drying racks can only be set up in one position and may be more difficult to put away if you don’t plan to keep them out on your kitchen counter all the time.

A: It depends on which drying rack you’re looking at. Some drying racks can be cleaned in the dishwasher, although your safest option might be to only place them on the top rack. Other drying racks will need to be cleaned by hand, which will help them maintain their form and keep the grip on the surface from being tarnished or damaged in any way. Many drying racks feature trays that can be removed for easy cleaning, or to dispose of the water that they collect from your bottles and other items that are drying.
A: You can use drying racks for a variety of different items. The one thing you’ll want to keep in mind is the weight of the item that is being placed on the rack. Drying racks are made with studs or pieces that will help hold bottles in a slightly elevated position. However, they may not be strong enough to hold larger plates, glasses, or trays, and you won’t want to damage them to the point that they can no longer hold your plastic bottles, either.
