Product Information

For busy people and large families, a dryer’s efficiency can’t be beat. If you’re doing a load or more of laundry every day, having the time and space to hang and spread it all out to dry is pretty unrealistic. When you air-dry your clothes, the fibres of your garments hold up longer because your clothes dry over the whole day or via sunlight. Additionally, air-drying clothes is free. You won’t have any machines to maintain or an increased electricity bill. After washing your clothes in the washing machine, don’t forget to run a spin cycle. It’s worth noting that many standard washing machine cycles end with a spin cycle. Never drape clothing directly over the heater, as this poses a serious fire hazard. “You’re not only at risk of the fabric or the heater itself catching fire – the heater could potentially overheat and deform, falling on a child, pet, or something potentially highly flammable,” Iredale says.

A dryer takes up less space than spreading and air-drying your clothes around your house or yard. It sits in a corner, in a cabinet, or a basement—as long as there’s a vent and access to an outlet. Perform regular maintenance on your dryer by cleaning its lint and fluff filter after every load. Doing so will guarantee its best performance for a longer period. Ideally, it’s best to air dry clothes than to machine dry them. Air drying will save money while decreasing the wear-and-tear of clothes from tumble drying. It’ll ease any concerns about ruining your garments. Additionally, tumble drying speeds up your laundry process by removing the need to iron your clothing. That’s because the heat from your dryer usually removes the fabric’s creases.Chan says if you’re going to do this, you need to be mindful of the fabric content. He says you should not put anything flammable, like 100% nylon or 100% polyester fabrics, near a heater nor leave them drying near one unattended for a long time.

First, tumbler dryers can be pricy to buy and with continuous use, your energy bills will get higher. Also, dryers eventually require maintenance, so that’s another expense to consider. Air-drying your clothes means you need space to do so, and we don’t all have that. Laying out individual pieces of clothing takes up a significant amount of surface area and requires ventilation. Never lay garments on top of each other – give them as much space as possible. Photograph: Mike Kemp/Getty Images/Tetra images RF You know that Latin phrase that means, "First, do no harm"? Well, it’s widely applicable. It’s always best practice to start with the gentlest method, and then build up to more extreme methods if the first one doesn’t work. Air-drying your clothes takes far less a toll on fabrics than machine drying does, not to mention it’s more energy efficient. Air-drying is easier on fabrics Air drying takes longer compared to tumble drying. However, there are a couple of benefits when you opt for this method.Pro tip: If you air-dry a stained item, you can continue to treat the stain and wash the item until it’s removed. Oil-based stains aren’t easily removed using water, so it might be smart to dry clean to remove it. Air-drying is eco-friendly

Before you place wet clothes in the dryer, shake them out piece by piece to help separate items and eliminate wrinkles. You also don't want to jam your dryer full—leave some space for items to move around.There is also the chance of damaging clothes due to the intense heat. Many fabrics shouldn’t be tumble dried due to the chance of their shrinkage or damage. The bottom line? If your goal or main concern is finishing your laundry as soon as possible, then go for tumble drying. AirDry technology delivers up to three times better drying performance when compared to closed-door systems. The door automatically opens at the end of the drying phase and the air is circulated inside the machine. Dishes emerge perfectly dry. Every time. It’s not a stellar choice for every type of clothing, but it allows busy people to do a load of laundry with a lot less effort. Plus, a dryer is a reliable constant when life and weather gets unpredictable.

Not only can spending your hard-earned cash on repeatedly replacing your wardrobe (because your clothes are wearing out) get expensive, a dryer is a pricey appliance. So, buying a dryer for your home may or may not be an option. Most dryer cycles take about an hour to complete, making it easy to throw in a load after work when you can.AirDry is automatically activated with all programmes. The duration of the drying phase and the door opening time vary depending on the selected programme and options. Like tumble drying, air drying has its cons too. Since it takes more time to dry clothes, you’ll need to consider this because it can be limiting. Hanging some garments like shirts or trousers on a coat hanger with the buttons done up and the legs or sleeves smoothed out can reduce (or eliminate) ironing time. Chan says to make sure your coat hangers are strong enough to hold the weight of any wet garment and wide enough to accommodate their width to avoid misshapen shoulders. Be mindful of hanging wet clothes on stained wood, dyed cloth or wire hangers, as dye transfers and rust can both cause stains. Installing a line Dryers also now have a variety of settings that can cater to the types of clothes that are being dried. Delicates, heavier items like towels and sheets: You can customize how high you set the heat. Which is better? Well, there is no right answer. To best protect your clothes, air drying is the winner. For speed, a tumble dryer wins. There are also other factors to consider such as convenience, cost, space and fabric.
