To put in the dryer greatly shortens the drying time of clothes. This also brings convenience to our lives. However, not all clothes are suitable for use in the dryer. Next, we will introduce several main clothing materials to help you better protect your shoes and clothing.
Clothes that cannot be put in the drye
Chemical fiber clothing
Chemical fiber clothing like nylon, polyester, etc. can easily deform, shrink or even melt under high temperatures. When they are in a dryer, their microstructure will changes. As a result, the clothing size will become smaller and the texture will become stiffer. This seriously affects the wearing effect.
Silk products
Silk clothing is known for its softness and smoothness, but this also makes it an extremely delicate material. Therefore, it is best to dry silk clothing naturally to maintain its original luster and texture.
Wool clothing
Wool clothing has good thermal insulation properties. High temperatures in dryer causes the fibers to shrink and deform. More seriously, it will affect the thermal insulation effect and appearance. Wool clothing should be laid flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.
Leather products will accelerate aging under high temperatures. That can cause the cortex to harden, crack, or even deform. The hot air will destroy the leather’s natural oils, causing it to lose its original luster and elasticity. Shortly, leather products should be left to dry naturally and cared for with an appropriate amount of care agent.
Clothes with decorations
Clothes and shoes with decorations such as sequins and beads can easily fall off or deform due to high temperatures during the drying process. This type of clothing is best hand washed and air dried.
Canvas shoes
High-temperature drying will cause the uppers of canvas shoes to deform and shrink, and the sole glue to age and fall off. At the same time, the cotton lining inside the canvas shoes hardens under high temperatures. In addition, the high-speed rotation of the dryer may also wear the uppers and shorten their service life.
Although to put in the dryers bring convenience to our lives, they are not suitable for all clothes. In addition to the more common clothing mentioned above, latex pillows, swimsuits and sweaters are not suitable for putting in the dryer.
