Are you confused between Tumbledry or line drying clothes after wash? It is quite normal to have such confusion. Because, generally people prefer the traditional way, i.e. line drying. However, tumbledry is also getting popular.

So, here, we will quickly tell you a few crucial aspects of both these drying methods. Keep reading so that you can choose the right one depending on your requirements.

Let’s start with Tumbledry:

Tumbledry

What is Tumbledry?

Tumble drying is a way to dry clothes using a machine “clothes dryer”. This method is called tumble dry because airflow and heat inside the drum dries clothes quickly. In general, there are three main settings used to tumbledry clothes in different scenarios:

No heat

  • Sweaters
  • Fluffy coats
  • Very delicate items (They shouldn’t be wrinkle-prone

Medium heat

Low heat

  • Clothes having sheer or net fabric
  • Embellished clothes
  • Activewear
  • Knitted clothes

You may have heard it is not the ideal way, however, Tumbledry is good for clothes in many cases.

Why Tumbledry is good for clothes

Tumbledry is best when you are in hurry

If you often see yourself running late, tumbledry is the best option for you. While line drying may take hours, tumbledry will give you dried clothes within minutes. This makes tumbledry a time saviour and ideal way.

Tumbledry is best during rainy season

Rain becomes our biggest enemy when it comes to drying washed clothes. Those who line dry clothes outdoors during rainy season have to stay highly attentive. In case it rains, clothes get wet all over again, and it turns out to be a big mess.

Line drying clothes indoors is also a task during rainy season. Because due to excessive moisture, even indoors line drying becomes hectic as it takes nearly double the actual time for clothes to dry.

In such situation Tumbledry is best as no matter how heavily it rains, your clothes will get dried quickly.

Do you know we can clean, dry, and even fold your clothes while you can relax.

Tumbledry is effortless & mess-free

Tumbledry is easy and mess-free. Unlike line drying you don’t have to take the entire laundry load towards your clothesline and hang clothes one by one. There is no need to flip the clothes so that they can dry quickly. You also don’t have to check on the weather conditions. Clothes will not be lost if you forget securing them with a clothespin.

All you have to do is to just transfer your washed clothes in the clothes dryer machine, run it on ideal setting. That’s it. The entire process is easy, effortless and mess-free. And, don’t worry tumbledry is good for clothes (if you do it in the right way).

Tumbledry is good as it promotes hygiene

At times hanging clothes outdoors expose them to air pollutants and allergens. If clothes are not being dried under the sun, there is no scope for sanitization as well. On the other side, tumbledry helps in killing germs and bacteria that are left on clothes even after washing, as it involves heat flow.

That’s why, sometimes, Tumbledry is better than line drying.

Now, let’s move to the other way of drying clothes – Line Drying so that you can understand which one’s better tumbledry or line dry.

Line Dry

What is line drying?

Line drying clothes means hanging clean, wet clothes from a clothesline to dry them. You can line dry clothes indoors as well as outdoors.

From free-standing drying racks, pulley clotheslines to retractable clothesline, there are multiple designs of clotheslines available for line drying. Apart from this, it is quite common among people to tie a rope in balconies and courtyards and use it for line drying.

Here are some benefits of line drying:

Why line drying is good for you

Line drying keeps you active

Unlike tumbledry, line drying requires efforts. You will have to take your wet laundry load towards the clothesline. Then, hang them all separately. In many cases, it is required to secure every garment with clothespin (especially if you are line drying outdoors). Afterwards, you will need to check if the whether conditions are fine or not, you may have to flip clothes too so that they can dry quickly. And once, they will get dried, you will have to remove them from the clothesline. Hence, this activity definitely promotes physical activity.
