A home without a tumble dryer

Short answer: Choose thin qualities that dry quickly, hang with air between garments and ventilate while they dry. Bamboo fabric is among the fastest to dry.

What controls drying time

Air circulation matters most, then humidity and lastly temperature. A rack in the middle of a room with an open window dries faster than a full rack in a closed bathroom.

How to hang

Hang the garments with good spacing, turn them halfway through and avoid folding anything double over a line. Spin hard enough first to remove as much water as possible. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

The moisture has to leave the home

Drying indoors with no ventilation puts the moisture into walls and windows. Ventilate or use a dehumidifier while the laundry dries. See bamboo towels and bamboo bedding.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take

Thin bamboo fabric dries in three to six hours indoors with good airflow.

Why does the laundry go stiff

Because the fibres are not moved. Shake the garment firmly before hanging it.

Can you dry on a radiator

You can, but it puts a lot of moisture into the room and can damage the fabric over time.
