For busy households, the convenience of a tumble dryer can be a major advantage, ensuring laundry is ready to wear in no time.
Disadvantages of Tumble Dryers:
Of course, we’ll also be covering some disadvantage of dryers as well.
Dryers causes microscopic harm to the fabric of your clothes. You may notice lint accumulating in the lint tray, which indicates collective damage. Lint is a result of small rips in your fabric’s fibres, which may lead to your clothes falling apart over a prolonged period of time. The main reason for this wear and tear is due to the mechanical tumbling action.
- Exposing your clothes to long cycles of high heat can cause your clothes to shrink from over-drying.
- For households washing and drying their laundry once on a weekly basis, would often result in wrinkled clothing after usage. This is usually caused by the big loads of clothes, or leaving the clothes rest in the dryer for too long.
- When different fabrics comes into contact inside a dryer, this friction causes static, you might feel a zap when your body reacts to charged clothing. You should always check on your labels for clothes that are not recommended for tumble dryers. This would take some time for you to segregate clothing that are safe for dryers and are not.
- Sometimes, you would often face times whereby your clothes are not dried after one cycle. This would usually be due to overloading, clothes being too wet or there are more thicker fabrics compared to other times.
- Dryer maintenance would help prevent costly repairs or become a fire hazard by regularly cleaning out the lint screen after each load and wipe dry the drum walls from building up residue.
