What to Never Put in the Dryer: Protect Your Clothes and Enhance Washing with Our Products
A dryer machine is a great helper, but not everything belongs inside it. The wrong items can damage your clothes, your dryer, or even cause a fire. In this article, we’ll show you what should never go into the dryer and how you can use our laundry sheets and laundry perfumes to keep your clothes clean, fresh-smelling, and long-lasting.
Why you should be careful
The heat and spinning of a dryer are perfect for cotton but can be destructive for delicate fabrics. According to statistics, improper dryer use shortens the lifespan of clothes and causes up to 15% of laundry-related household fires. Let’s take a look at what should stay out!
1. Clothes with rubber or elastane
- Why not? Heat melts or deforms rubber, ruining elasticity.
- Examples: Swimsuits, sportswear, underwire bras.
2. Delicate fabrics: silk, wool, cashmere
- Why not? These fabrics shrink or lose their shape. Wool can shrink by up to 30%!
- Examples: Silk dresses, wool sweaters, cashmere scarves.
3. Clothes with oil or flammable stains
- Why not? Oil residues or chemicals can ignite inside the dryer.
- Examples: Kitchen towels, work clothes stained with paint or gasoline.
4. Leather and suede
- Why not? Heat dries out and cracks these materials.
- Examples: Leather jackets, shoes, handbags.
5. Clothes with metal decorations
- Why not? Metal overheats, scratches the drum, or damages other clothes.
- Examples: Sequins, metal buttons, zippers, coins in pockets.
6. Plush toys and duvets
- Why not? Filling can clump or melt, blocking the filter.
- Examples: Stuffed toys, down duvets, synthetic bedding.
How to improve laundry with our products
Our laundry sheets are a revolution in washing – they protect your clothes and are eco-friendly. Just toss one into the washing machine and your colours stay bright. Laundry perfumes add a long-lasting scent – from floral to fresh citrus notes. Use them while washing and enjoy freshness even without a dryer.
Always check the care label before drying! Labels contain manufacturer instructions that tell you whether an item can be tumble-dried, at what temperature, or if it’s better to air dry. Ignoring these can lead to shrinkage, fibre damage, or colour fading. For example, a crossed-out dryer symbol means “do not tumble dry”, while dots inside indicate the allowed temperature. Our laundry sheets and laundry perfumes are designed to work with a wide range of fabrics – just follow the label, and your clothes will stay clean and beautifully scented.
