Heavy Cotton Items (ie. Towels & Jeans)
Should I dry on low or medium heat?
Drying clothes on low heat takes more time, so your dryer will have to work harder to get in more tumbles. But to get fewer tumbles, you'll need a higher heat setting, which takes energy. So is it a wash? It's not – drying clothes for longer on a lower heat setting is more efficient.
Is medium temperature good for drying clothes?
The medium heat setting is ideal for baby clothes and if your tumble dryer has a delicate setting, use that for your little ones' items. Use hypoallergenic, non-scented dryer sheets to avoid baby clothes becoming static.
What temperature should you dry clothes in?
The maximum heat of a dryer is dependent on the model. “On average, the temperature is between roughly 120 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, with around 160-degree peak temperatures possible,” notes Ashby. Of course, if your dryer is not drying, temps might not reach that high.
