What is perm press on dryer?

Here's information about a perm press on dryer in Markdown format with linked important subjects:

A perm press on dryer is a specialized appliance designed to gently dry clothes that have been treated with perm press, also known as permanent press, finishes. These fabrics are designed to resist wrinkles, but improper drying can negate those benefits.

The key features of a perm press on dryer are:

• Lower Heat Settings: These dryers operate at significantly lower temperatures than standard dryers. This prevents heat damage and minimizes shrinking and wrinkling of the perm press fabrics. See more about Heat Sensitivity.

• Cool Down Cycle: Many models include a cool-down cycle at the end of the drying process. This slowly reduces the temperature of the clothes, setting the wrinkle-resistant properties of the fabric.

• Gentle Tumbling Action: Some dryers may offer a gentler tumbling action to further minimize wrinkling and stretching.

• Automatic Shut-Off: To prevent over-drying, these dryers usually have an automatic shut-off function that senses when the clothes are dry.

The advantages of using a perm press on dryer:

• Wrinkle Reduction: The primary benefit is a reduction in wrinkles, saving time on ironing.
• Fabric Protection: The lower heat protects the fibers of the perm press fabric, extending the life of the garments.
• Energy Savings: While the drying time may be longer, the lower heat settings often result in overall energy savings.

The disadvantages are that the drying time may be longer and some models may not be as effective for thicker or heavier fabrics. See more about Drying%20Times.

While older dedicated "perm press dryers" were once common, modern dryers often have a "permanent press" setting that mimics the features of those earlier models. See more about Modern%20Dryer%20Settings.
