Clothes dryer or dehumidifier
Did you know that dehumidifiers can be much more efficient for drying laundry than a regular tumble dryer?
Drying laundry with one or more conventional household tumble dryers is very energy-intensive. To save energy, laundry can be dried outside in the fresh air during the summer. But what to do in bad weather or in winter? This short article describes how a drying room equipped with a laundry dehumidifier can help you dry your clothes in a reliable, environmentally friendly, and very energy-efficient way.
Gentle drying that extends the lifespan of clothing
"Clothes dryers use heat pumps with energy recovery and therefore outperform conventional tumble dryers in various ways:"
- No sorting required – hang any type of laundry on a line in your drying room (including delicate fabrics like cashmere and silk)
- No wear – unlike drum dryers, this drying process is gentle on textiles.
- No stiff fabric – your laundry feels soft and smooth when it is dried.
- No moisture in the air – protects buildings from moisture damage while drying.
- No energy waste – all the energy used for drying the laundry is reused for heating the room.
In other words, your laundry feels as if it has been dried in the fresh air and is almost wrinkle-free. This is an extremely gentle method of drying clothes, as your laundry does not suffer from abrasion, as is the case with drying in a tumble dryer.
This means that textiles that cannot be dried in a tumble dryer, from cashmere to silk, can be dried in this way. Furthermore, the Dantherm dehumidifier clothes dryer keeps the drying area free from humidity in the long term. Moisture already present in walls or stored items is also removed. Mold and bacteria cannot grow, which prevents material and health damage.
Do you not have a suitable drying room for a stationary dehumidifier dryer?
Mobile dehumidifiers from Dryfix are also ideal for drying clothes.
e.g. hung on drying racks in your living space.
