How to Properly Dry Clothes (Air-Dry vs. Machine Dry)

Description

Proper drying extends the life of clothing and maintains its shape. Air-drying is best for delicate fabrics, wool, and clothes prone to shrinkage. It helps prevent wear from heat and friction. Hang clothes on a drying rack or lay them flat for structured garments. Machine drying is faster but can be harsh on fabrics. Always use the correct heat setting: low for delicates, medium for everyday fabrics, and high for towels and jeans. Overloading the dryer reduces efficiency and increases wrinkles. Adding dryer balls can help improve drying and reduce static. Following proper drying techniques helps clothes last longer and stay in good condition.
