Product Information

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. 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. Remember to always use the right settings for various types of fabric to avoid ruining delicate garments. Heat damages clothes, and as we mentioned before, the heat and friction from the dryer takes its toll on fabrics over time. Shrinking, fading, and changes in fit can all happen if you use a dryer for the wrong piece of clothing. 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

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.

The Final Verdict

But, if you’re careful, you can minimize these effects by drying items on lower heat and using laundry detergent and fabric softener that help preserve the elasticity of your clothing. 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 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. 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.

Pro tip: You can even use a dryer to eliminate light wrinkles between washes; spritz an item with water and fluff it in the dryer for 10 minutes, no need to iron! Dryers can be space conscious and customizable Never lay garments on top of each other – give them as much space as possible.
