Pour étendre du linge mouillé, il existe une pluralité de configurations de systèmes d'étendage. Les différentes configurations connues de ces systèmes sont des séchoirs de type « parapluie » ou de type « tour à étages » ou des séchoirs à poser au sol ou encore des séchoirs muraux, etc. Le linge encore mouillé, est étendu sur les grilles de ces systèmes d'étendage puis laissé à l'air ambiant. Mais, dans de nombreux cas, l'humidité et la température de l'air ambiant ne permettent pas un séchage rapide, le linge reste ainsi étendu sur les systèmes d'étendage plusieurs heures voir même plusieurs jours avant qu'il ne soit totalement sec et peut dans certains cas, sentir l'humidité après de nombreuses heures passées à sécher. Cette odeur d'humidité est relativement désagréable pour du linge propre.To extend wet laundry, there are a plurality of lay-up configurations. The various known configurations of these systems are "umbrella" or "tower-type" type dryers or floor-standing dryers or wall dryers, etc. The laundry still wet, is spread on the grids of these spreading systems and left to the ambient air. But in many cases, the humidity and the ambient air temperature do not allow a fast drying, the linen thus remains extended on the drying systems several hours or even several days before it is completely dry and may in some cases feel wet after many hours of drying. This smell of moisture is relatively unpleasant for clean laundry.

Pour remédier aux inconvénients précédemment cités, et de cette façon accélérer et améliorer le séchage du linge étendu, il existe également une pluralité de dispositifs d'amélioration de séchage du linge étendu.
