What is tumble dry low?

Here's some information about "Tumble Dry Low":

"Tumble Dry Low" is a setting on your washing machine and dryer that indicates a low heat setting during the drying cycle. This setting is designed to gently dry clothes, minimizing the risk of shrinkage, damage, and excessive wear on delicate or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Here's what you need to know:

• Low Heat: The dryer uses a reduced temperature compared to medium or high heat settings. This lower heat is gentler on fabrics.
• Fabric Care: It's ideal for items like delicates, lingerie, synthetics (like polyester and rayon), and items that are prone to shrinking (like some cotton items).
• Shrinkage Prevention: High heat can cause fabrics to shrink, especially natural fibers. "Tumble Dry Low" reduces this risk.
• Longer Drying Time: Because the heat is lower, clothes will take longer to dry compared to higher heat settings.
• Check the Care Label: Always refer to the care label on your clothing for specific drying instructions. If the label says "Tumble Dry Low," it's important to follow those instructions to maintain the quality of the garment.
• Alternatives: If you don't have a "Tumble Dry Low" setting, you can try an "air dry" or "delicate" setting, as these usually use low heat. You can also air dry clothing for delicate fabrics.
