Evenness of Drying
What did we test for?
To evaluate how evenly each dryer was able to dry a load of laundry.
Why?
A good dryer dries the clothes evenly. Final Moisture content indicates average dryness
but this can mean that some parts of the garment are over-dry whilst other parts are
damp. This can mean that laundry needs to be redried before it can be worn or stored.
How did we test for evenness of drying?
This test aims to visually demonstrate how evenly a dryer is drying. We used a big load
(11 lb). Included, in the standard load, were a number of fabric swatches that clearly
showed any damp patches that remained at the end of the cycle. Each garment was
‘felt’ for dampness and total area of dampness on the fabric swatches was measured and
calculated.
