Product Information

Your favorite apparel pieces will thank you for keeping their color, shape, and texture intact longer. But if you don’t have the time or space to dry your clothes or the weather is bad, then tumble drying can be the perfect solution.

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. 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. 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. 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.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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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.

3x better drying with AirDry 

Environmental sustainability is central to Airdri’s ongoing product development. By establishing best practices and acting with integrity we strive to meet our obligations to the environment, providing reliable and innovative products that reflect our commitment to waste, energy, noise reduction and clean air. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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-friendlyTo know more about these two drying methods, we’ll share the pros and cons of both air and tumble drying. 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.
