Why use a dryer?

Because the sun is not available 365 days a year, and the balcony cannot be opened at any time. For example, when catkins were flying some time ago, Fei Mojun kept the balcony windows tightly closed. Without ventilation, clothes would dry slowly, and the sterilization effect through the glass was also reduced.

When the rainy season comes in June and July, this is the main reason why friends in the south buy dryers. The rain is continuous and water vapor comes from all directions. Not only can clothes not dry when hung out to dry, but they also have a musty smell.

So whether a dryer is needed depends on the region and climate.

Some friends also said that they only have a balcony in the living room at home, and they don’t want guests to see colorful clothes, which is not beautiful. They urgently need a dryer to give the balcony a major facelift.

In addition, clothes dried in the sun have advantages that they do not have, such as being softer and fluffier, having a fragrance, and the lint on the clothes can also be filtered out.

Is it good to dry clothes in a dryer?

Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of using a dryer to dry clothes is that it prevents mold from growing on the clothes and prevents them from being contaminated by dust from outside. Clothes dried in a dryer will dry faster than those hung naturally, but they cannot prevent cross-contamination between clothes like natural drying.

When drying clothes, it is best to master the correct method so that it can play its maximum effect. First, never put clothes that cannot be dried in the dryer, such as wool clothes, wool blended clothes, tight clothes, swimsuits, swimming trunks, etc.; second, adjust the drying time according to the fabric of the clothes to save electricity and increase the drying speed; third, sort the clothes before putting them in the dryer to dry, and pay attention to zipping, buttoning, and tightening the bag; finally, iron the clothes immediately after drying to evenly distribute the residual moisture.

What clothes can be dried in a dryer

1. Woolen clothes are not suitable for drying with drying machines, because they will be deformed due to uneven shrinkage after absorbing water, which will affect their appearance and cause a decrease in fastness. Woolen clothes are generally suitable for natural evaporation and drying after dry cleaning.

2. Work clothes stained with gasoline must not be dried in a dryer, because gasoline is flammable and explosive. Not only will it pollute and corrode the dryer after spreading, but it may also cause an explosion due to ignition in the running dryer. Therefore, clothes stained with gasoline must not be washed in a drying machine.

3. Silk clothes are not suitable for drying with drying machines, because silk clothes are thin and soft, with poor wear resistance. They are very easy to get fuzzy when washed in a high-speed washing drum, and even form a lot of fluff on the surface, which is very unsightly to wear after drying. The correct drying method is to dry them naturally with water.

4. Clothes with silk inlay are not suitable for drying in a dryer, because silk inlay clothes cannot be scrubbed or twisted, and the drying process will damage the clothes. The correct washing method is to soak them in a neutral soap solution or synthetic detergent at about 35 degrees, turn them over several times by hand after they are soaked thoroughly, rinse them with clean water after the dirt is washed off, and hang them on a hanger to let them drip and dry naturally.
