A dryer is a practical appliance in households where there isn't enough space to dry laundry. However, it requires proper care to serve you reliably for a long time. Regular maintenance not only extends its lifespan but also ensures that it always operates efficiently, saving you time and money.
We have already shown how to clean the dryer , now let's look at problematic habits that worsen drying quality. You might be making mistakes while drying that you don't even know about:
1. You put fabric softener in the dryer
To be more precise, you wash your laundry using fabric softener and then put it in the dryer. However, fabric softener can clog the dryer , especially if used in larger amounts. It leaves residues on the laundry that block the filters. This reduces drying quality and the lifespan of the dryer.
2. You might be forgetting about wool dryer balls
Maybe you know them as dryer balls, or maybe you’re hearing about them for the first time. In any case, wool dryer balls significantly reduce drying time, improve air circulation between laundry, and lower energy consumption. Wool dryer balls last up to 1500 drying cycles , making them a long-term and eco-friendly solution.
The dryer is one of the most energy-consuming appliances in the household. Want to save on electricity for its operation? Use wool balls with every drying cycle and reduce drying time by up to 30 % . The ideal number is 3 dryer balls , and for large loads, we recommend 6 balls.
Don’t forget to let the dryer balls dry after each drying cycle.You will ensure that they will effectively wick moisture during the next use, speed up the drying process, and reduce energy consumption.
