To pull off the hack she dismantled the clothes airer so she could mount the parts she wanted on the wall, creating a seamless indoor hanging space that neatly folds away after use.

“Possibly my favourite and most practical Kmart hack so far,” she wrote on social media. “Kmart deluxe clothes airer works perfectly mounted to the wall in my laundry, with a central heating vent underneath.”

Explaining how she did it, the woman from Victoria said it was easy to do, so long as you've got the right tools. “It was easy enough to unscrew most pieces with a screwdriver," she said. "The top section doesn’t have normal screws so I just cut it off with a hack saw."
