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. Remember to always use the right settings for various types of fabric to avoid ruining delicate garments.

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. 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 To know more about these two drying methods, we’ll share the pros and cons of both air and tumble drying. 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. Air-drying your clothes doesn’t use any electricity or gas at all. You may think this laundry tip saves you money on your electric bill, but it doesn’t always. The average cost of running your dryer ranges between 36 and 45 cents per load, depending on the dryer type and load size. But if you have a large family and have to do multiple laundry loads per day, that savings can add up over time. What we don’t like about the air-drying method

For a lot of people, a big factor in the debate between tumble and air drying is time. There is no doubt that tumble drying lessens the amount of time for clothing to dry compared to air drying, unless it’s a blisteringly hot day. If your life is stain-prone (i.e. kids, pets, messy work) air-drying gives you the option to continue a stain removal process. Stains set when they’re placed in the dryer at a high temperature, and it’s pretty easy to miss stains on clothing when you’re transferring them from the washer. So you might find out too late that a stubborn mustard splotch is still there. Most dryer cycles take about an hour to complete, making it easy to throw in a load after work when you can.

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. 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. 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.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. 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. 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 Both methods are efficient and are great for drying clothes but in the end, it will all come down to your convenience and what’s best for your needs.
