Heated clothes airer FAQ
How hot do heated clothes dryers get?
Around 60C. A cover (supplied with some) helps to keep the temperature constant. Clothes on uncovered rack dryers should be moved around, since the areas in contact with the heated rails will dry faster.
Can you leave heated clothes airers on overnight?
Manufacturers don’t recommend leaving any electric heated products unattended but in practice, this is how most people use them. Most come with timers and thermostats to choose lower temperatures for longer drying periods.
How long does it take clothes to dry?
Four or five hours for cotton and linen and over ten hours for jumpers and thick materials. You should always squeeze as much moisture as possible out of your clothes before putting them on a heated airer. Again, the covers help to speed the drying process.
Another option for speeding the clothes-drying process is to run a portable dehumidfier in the same room. Dehumidifiers can shorten drying time by 25 percent, while also reducing damp and mould in the home.
How much do heated air dryers cost to run?
6p per hour for 200W dryers and 9p per hour for 300W dryers, approximately. This is based on the energy price cap of 30p per kW/h since July 1 2023, although prices will vary according to your tariff.
