High final spin extractor is a benefit mainly for laundry that will be tumbled dry, and or holds lots of water, such as heavy terrycloth toweling. While many items will line dry faster besides the above, if subjected to high final spin speeds, you wouldn't always do so for various reasons. For instance bed linens, shirts, delicates, and anything else you don't wish to cause harm or crease to death, should be spun a lower speeds. |

Machine drying was first sold to housewives as a way for them to do laundry independent of the weather outdoors. No longer would Madam, her maid or the launderess have to wait for a nice sunny and warm day (with a good breeze), to do the washing. There were heated dryers prior to tumble dryers, but were more like giant toasters with sliding racks. One draped or hung wet laundry on racks or hangers, and slid them into the drying closet type machine, where gentle heat would "dry" laundry. This in turn was merely a more fancy version of the old method of hanging laundry in a room with a small fire or heat from a range. In the United States at least, clotheslines have been demonised as poverty, which is one reason they fell out of favour. Despite the fact in warmer climates, laundry hung out in the morning would be dry in a matter of hours. Growing up we only used the dryer in the colder months and or when it was bad weather outside. Otherwise everything was hung on the line in the backyard. |

Is interesting (and a shame) that line drying is seen as being tied to affordability and associated with being poor... My parents are comfortable and have always bought the best they could afford - Frigidaire and Simpson in the 60's, ASEA in the 80's etc, yet hell will freeze before my mother owns a dryer (or a dishwasher...which is just silly). Here, making it known that you routinely mechanically dry is seen as wasteful and indulgent if you have the facility to use nature and not pay for it. I have had THE lecture about 'waste and resources' and 'penny saved is a penny earnt' from more friends and relatives that I care to name. Dryers here are seen as 'depth of winter, wet weather use only' machines. I still tumble dry towels and smalls but sheets and clothing are generally hung up either on an airer inside or on the line.... My grandmother used to say that 'Your whites should be WHITE, your brights BRIGHT and you should be proud to let the world see them!' |
