We understand. Laundry settings can be confusing.
You may be overwhelmed with the piles of laundry in your room and trying to figure out how to wash them; maybe you’re at your new apartment trying to figure out what setting to use for your new dryer.
Whatever situation you find yourself in as you read this, you are in the right place for an easy and quick guide about the tumble dry setting.
What is Tumble Dry?
So you’re wondering, “what does tumble dry even mean?” We’ve got you covered.
When it comes to laundry, there are many settings and rules to follow, but we wanted to quickly unpack this term that everyone who does laundry must know.
Tumble dry is when you put your laundry items into the dryer instead of air-drying them. Every setting you choose when using your dryer is considered a tumble dry setting. Pretty simple, right?
While you may be used to leaving your clothes out to dry, choosing to tumble dry them is an efficient way to get your laundry piles marked off your to-do list.
I mean, who doesn’t enjoy having warm and wrinkle-free clothes after drying them?
