Hey guys I’ve got a question for you, what is more efficient /dries faster?

As my mum always tells me “only just put the things that you need tomorrow in the dryer but I feel like that isn’t really efficient because there’s a whole tonne of heat produced and probably most of it would be Going out the exhaust, hence why I’ve always done mainly a full load of stuff to dry instead of just one or five items I need for tomorrow

my advice

my advice is if you can line dry or have a clothes rack like this for small loads if its day time line dry or if its something you need for the next day then use the clothes rack and use the dryer for bigger load unless your dryer has a time dry cycle that you can set for 30 0r 20 minutes or less depending on load size

Most efficient way to use a clothes dryer

If you’re going to use a clothes dryer it’s always most efficient to do good full loads, there are many ways to save energy with a dryer you can pre-dry the clothing somewhat but then use the dryer to do The final finishing in dewrinkling.

I tend to do my laundry in the late afternoon,

Previously when I got home from work, it would be washed and rinsed and then spun through a extractor, and then after that depending on the dryer that I’m using The time varies from 30 to 45 minutes or to 1 hour and 10 and one hour and 30, The reason why that I thought it was less efficient to dry a single item Or five items, compared to drying a full load. Is because most of the heat would go past the items to be dried instead of being used to help Evaporate moisture in the laundry being dried

After the twinny spinny I hang towels over the showercurtain rod.   By the time everything else is done they are dry enough to use (if a bit clammy).  The dryer finishes everything off in 15min.  Except socks, which get to lay out till the next afternoon then put away.

 

In Hawaii, never had a dryer, never missed it.

But half the time in Hawaii I scarcely had clothes either.

usually in under an hour.....but after the first 20-25 minutes, you have to take it out and redistribute it every 10 minutes....

Yeah, under an hour ... 34 mins total.  25 mins to start of cool down (3:48p to 4:13p).  End-of-cycle 4:22p.  100% dry, no redistribution.  Those crazy F&P machines ...  ;-)
