A method and apparatus for shaping a glove. The apparatus broadly includes an elongated shaping portion and a handle portion. The elongated shaping portion is made of a deformable material that holds its shape when bent without the use of heat and that is configured to be inserted into a single slot of the glove where a user's digit is positioned during use. The handle portion is connected to the shaping portion and is made of at least one of plastic, tape, and rubber.

What is disclosed is an aerator for use with clothing such as socks, gloves, shoes, and/or boots. In a preferred embodiment the aerator is provided as a flat stock that can be wrapped or rolled to form a spherical aerator. The aerator forms a cylindrical base with projections emanating from the cylinder. These projections generally span the length of the cylinder. In a preferred embodiment the projections are generally triangular in shape. In a further preferred embodiment the cylinder and/or projections utilize openings to enhance air flow. The aerator can be utilized in conjunction with a forced air system or can be used for passive aeration. What is further disclosed is the method of using an aerator for drying an article of clothing.

A portable glove drying apparatus having a housing defining an inner chamber containing a fan and power source, as well as a sized outlet for receiving a golf glove. A flexible but resilient loop is disposed across the sized outlet and can be inserted in a golf glove to support and expand the golf glove from its inside. The fan can generate air flow that is directed into a base opening of the glove and out of ventilation holes of the golf glove. The air flow acts to improve evaporation of moisture contained on or in the golf glove and thereby promotes rapid drying of the golf glove.

A drying system embodying a method and glove dryer mountable to an outlet of an already-running furnace when in use so as to safely and efficiently dry out articles, and that dissembles into stackable elements when stored is provided. The glove dryer may include a base providing a plurality of detachable nozzles. The base may form a volumetric enclosure for both safely mounting the outlet of an already-running furnace as well as for storage purposes. The plurality of detachable nozzles may be stacked in a nest configuration when removed from the base for storing in the volumetric enclosure. When in use, the plurality of detachable nozzles each provide a plurality of holes through which heated air from the outlet reaches to tops of articles of clothing slidably received thereon.

An apparatus for drying a garment is provided, including a main member, at least one light source, and at least one air source. The main member includes an outer surface configured for receiving the garment, and a plurality of apertures disposed along the outer surface. The light source emits a UV-C light, and the air source blows air. The UV-C light from the light source and air from the air source can at least partially pass through the outer surface. The apertures are in communication with at least the air source.
