Clothes carousel: I purchased this one. So far I've had great luck drying toilet cloth, wash cloths, and unpaper towels on it. I don't think it's suitable for drying much heavier items; it feels rather flimsy. For now, I've been hanging this in our very warm walk-in closet to dry and it's worked just fine.
Drying rack: I'm looking for a collapsible rack that I can store in my laundry room (which is accessed from my balcony) when not in use, and then set up outside on the balcony when I am using it. Since this will be put away when not in use, I think I'm less likely to get busted for drying my clothes outside. I could use this to dry heavier items like shirts, thicker diapers like all-in-ones or pockets, hand towels, etc. I'm not sure that jeans and towels would work since I wouldn't want anything to touch the ground. The struggle I've had in choosing a drying rack to purchase is that I want it's bars to be thin enough that I can clothespin things to it and make sure they don't blow away!
Retractable clothesline: My laundry room is very tiny so this is an idea I am less confident in now that I have seen in person just how small it is. However, one idea I had was to string a clothesline across the laundry room itself, preferably a retractable one to minimize the chance of killing myself on accident. The laundry room is separate from the apartment and therefore not air conditioned so it is very, very hot in there which I think would work well for drying heavy items like towels and jeans. But now, seeing how little room there is, even if I did do it, I think I might have room for 2 items to be hung up, so that's kind of silly. I'll keep thinking about this and see if I can come up with a good solution.
