Ruhaszárítás

Ruhaszárítás refers to the process of removing moisture from laundered garments. This is a crucial step in the laundry cycle, as it renders clothing dry and wearable. Historically, drying was accomplished by laying clothes out in the sun and wind, a method still practiced in many parts of the world due to its energy efficiency and simplicity.

Modern methods of ruhaszárítás typically involve mechanical dryers. These appliances use heated air and tumbling action to evaporate water from the fabric. While convenient, electric and gas dryers consume significant amounts of energy. Alternative drying methods include air-drying on clotheslines, racks, or hangers, either indoors or outdoors. This approach is more environmentally friendly and gentle on fabrics, helping to prolong their lifespan. Factors influencing the speed of ruhaszárítás include temperature, humidity, airflow, and the type of fabric. Delicate items often require lower temperatures or air-drying to prevent damage. Proper spin cycles in washing machines can also reduce the initial moisture content, thereby shortening drying times.
