Drying Clothes with a Dehumidifier: The "Lifesaver" for Humid Seasons & Energy Saving

When the Humid Season Turns Your Balcony into a "Rainforest"

During drizzly days or the humid season (humidity > 90%), clothes hung out for a week still don't dry, accumulating unpleasant odors and even mold, which is a nightmare for every family. According to energy saving recommendations from the Department of Energy, using high-capacity thermal dryers frequently can significantly increase your monthly electricity bill.

So, what is the solution that both saves electricity and protects fabrics better? The answer is using a Dehumidifier.

2. Why Dehumidifiers are the "Best Friend" of Luxury Items?

According to Consumer Reports, high heat from conventional dryers is the number one enemy of sensitive fabrics like wool, silk, and stretch sportswear.

Olmas dehumidifiers operate on the Cold Condensation mechanism: Extract moisture from the air -> Release warm & dry air. This dry airflow gently penetrates fabric fibers, removing moisture naturally. This is why Luxury Boutiques and leather goods stores always use dehumidifiers for preservation instead of ACs or thermal dryers.

3. 4-Step Process to Dry Clothes in 2 Hours

To achieve drying speed equivalent to specialized dryers, follow the "Closed Room & Air Convection" principle:

• Step 1 (Isolate Space): Hang clothes in the smallest room available (under 10m² is ideal, e.g., bathroom, storage room). Close all windows and doors tightly.
• Step 2 (Positioning): Place the dehumidifier in the center of the room. Safety Note: Do not place it directly under wet clothes to prevent water from dripping into the air outlet.
• Step 3 (Settings): Select Dry Clothes / Laundry mode or set the humidity to the lowest level (Continuous) + High Fan Speed.
• Step 4 (Boost): Turn on an additional standard electric fan blowing directly at the clothes rack. The wind helps water evaporate faster, and the dehumidifier will "collect" that moisture immediately.
