Tumble-Dry

[dangerdyke]

Why do laundry tags tell you to tumble dry? Are there dryers that do not tumble? Of course there's dry cleaning, but those clothes say "Dry Clean Only" and then I just wash them anyway. If you know of a non-tumbling dryer, give a holler.

It differs from "hang to dry", "lay flat to dry", and "twist and leave" which are different methods to get things dried.

And, I'm a guy. Really. Ooog. ::beats chest::

I hear there's an ancient device know as a clothes line. This I think was what clothespins were originally designed for, though they have many other uses today. :)

It means to put in a regular dryer with no or low heat. But I use my solar dryer for almost everything. However the "blow dry" feature is compleatly unpredictable. Therefore clothes pins are nessasary to prevent clothes from being scatered about the yard and trees.

there are some dryers that have a fluff cycle. They do not tumble as they are designed to heat. You can put a little shelf in there and lay a sweater on on it and fluff it dry. Faster than line drying leaving it soft without the snags and disfigurement of the garment from tumbling. Hope this answers your question, lol....

LP, who knows so much about this appliance is my mom is washing queen and had one. My weird sister used to turn the dryer on fluff and get in it to warm up when she was little....
