Green Tips: Condenser Dryers you Need One Bad
Hey everyone, as many of you probably already know by now regular dryers are very bad for the environment. Now I believe hanging your clothes out to dry to be truly the only way to go, although it may require a bit more energy “like walking out to the clothes line WOW!” sorry couldn’t help it LOL!
Anyway, at least if you must use a condenser dryer…make sure you always keep that lint trap clean. When it’s all clogged up your dryer has to work all that much harder to dry your clothes. Thus the reason why sometimes you have to run the dryer twice for a job that really probably could of been done on the first cycle. ” Plus it adds more life to the dryer itself”
How do you choose the right condenser dryer for you?
First off you want to find a model that has a program that automatically shuts off the second it detects that your clothes are dry. How they work is there’s a little sensor in them that triggers to you that your clothes are dry now,so you don’t have to finish the whole cycle. Pretty Nifty!!
I also believe they have settings that are labels Cupboard Dry, Dry to Wear, and Iron Dry. The programs are real easy to understand.
The best feature I would like the most is: Dry to Wear
I like the buttons on my Levis to be cool to the touch when making contact with my belly! LOL
Another Note before I go:
If you have an old condenser dryer that’s old and maybe have a little money to throw at a new updated model.
Technology has hit some all time highs in creating the best condenser dryers out there today…way more Energy Efficient then they were Definitely worth looking into!
