Clothes Airers Delcare War
The story is simple, clothes airers declare war on tumble dryers. In fact, it proves that any one can dry their laundry using a combination of natural drying clothes airers without use of energy.
I often meet people who have bought a tumble dryer for the first time. How proud they seem of their new purchase it is as if they have suddenly graduated to being sophisticated. They have no apparent idea of what a tumble dryer does to their clothes.
A clothes airer takes the natural drying way. Just like your Granny did. The airer uses secondary heat with no energy cost.
A tumble dryer is simply an electric element heating the air to dry the clothes. The fossil fuels burned in power stations to create the electricity only achieve 30% efficiency at best. In addition, that is before the metal box arrives at your home at great expense to you.
Tumble dryers beat the clothes as they dry them by dashing them against the metal walls. The airer simply allows the laundry to dry in the resting position in the passing ambient.
The tumble dryer removes the fibres from your sheets towels and linen. If you have a series of colour washes, try an experiment. Use the tumble dryer and leave the filter. You will see layers of colourful fluff caught in the filter. Just like those souvenir bottles, you can buy filled with coloured sand.
For those suffering with asthma or breathing difficulties the injection of warm damp air with dust particles could aggravate the condition.
Not to mention the introduction of hot a machine when you are trying to keep a cool kitchen. Besides, if you use an airer you save directly in your pocket by not using electricity.
Imagine if 10,000 households stopped using a tumble dryer. The average kW usage is 436kw per year. Therefore, 10,000 would save 4,360,000 kW per year. Quite a saving.
Apart from the real savings in energy, there is also the major reduction in CO2 emissions. Today we are urged to buy carbon off sets. Especially when we fly, we are urged to contribute to a carbon-offset company.
They in turn plant trees or plants to try to replace the emissions from our flight with oxygen.
Of course, for those of us made to feel guilty the answer is in planting our own trees or simply using a clothes airer.
Imagine every time you hang clothes on a clothes airer, clotheshorse, wall drying rack or such like you are actively reducing your carbon footprint.
Using a clothes airer may not be a declaration of war. But think of your improved carbon footprint by not using a tumble dryer.
