The dryer kills the microbes.
- imhoguy 1y agoOnly in high temperature.
- tallanvor 1y agoAgain, Europe. Different from the US. European dryers generally don't heat above 45-60C, which isn't very effective at killing microbes. They do, however, use less electricity and are gentler on fabrics. Personally, though, I hang up my clothes and only use the dryer for sheets and towels.
- lightedman 1y agoEuropean dryers do not get that hot. You need over 75C consistently for a minimum of amount of time so the fabrics can heat through and hold that temperature. The sterilization process is basically the same as Tyndallization.
