Product Information

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.

Your favorite apparel pieces will thank you for keeping their color, shape, and texture intact longer.If an item should be hand washed or run on the delicate cycle, you shouldn’t put it in the dryer, because it can shrink.

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.

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. 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. Founded in 1974 by two mechanical and electrical engineers, Airdri remains a family owned business today with operations in the UK, US and China. 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. 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 are issues with drying clothes inside too as drying clothes in poorly-ventilated rooms can increase moisture in the air. In turn, it will create an adequate condition for mould spores to grow. That being said, this can also be a problem for condenser dryer machines. 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. 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. Remember to always use the right settings for various types of fabric to avoid ruining delicate garments.

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.

He also recommends Australians buy locally made clotheslines to ensure they have been designed with Australia’s weather conditions in mind. Given the unseasonal rain some parts of the country are experiencing and that sunlight can fade or age your clothes, he suggests getting a cover for your clothesline, like these ones from Clevacover. “This allows for year-round drying, as they are fully waterproof, plus make a great shade area in the hot summer months to protect your clothes.” Air drying takes longer compared to tumble drying. However, there are a couple of benefits when you opt for this method. 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. 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
