Drying laundry in a dryer can quickly become costly, especially on older models, and has a negative impact on the environment. Six tips to dry laundry greener and cheaper:

The better the laundry is spun before drying, the shorter the drying time and therefore the electricity consumption.

A clean lint filter and drum allow air to circulate more efficiently. This reduces energy consumption.

When the cup is filled to the maximum level, energy consumption per garment is minimized.

Clothing items that dry slowly (for example, because they are thick) should not be placed in the drum. Because: A modern dryer always runs for as long as it takes to dry the wettest garment. If the relevant parts are sorted, drying time and therefore electricity consumption are reduced.

Hanging individual pieces in the apartment can combat dry heating air, especially in winter, and thus relieve the load on the respiratory tract. Air drying fitted sheets makes sense because other laundry can easily get caught in them and will take much longer to dry.

Other laundry should be buttoned and zipped to prevent them from getting stuck in blankets and pillowcases. Keeping fasteners closed also contributes to the longevity of the mattress and minimizes pilling.

If available, the dryer’s Eco mode can be used. This is more economical than normal mode, even if it means the drum will run longer.

Dryer balls can help reduce drying time by fluffing the laundry and thus optimizing air circulation in the drum. Wool dryer balls also store heat and return it to the laundry, which speeds up drying. Manufacturers talk about energy savings of 25 to 40 percent.

Another plus for the environment and your wallet: dryer balls can help you avoid using irons and fabric softeners because they soften laundry.

Experts recommend against using tennis balls as dryer balls. On the one hand, there is a risk of staining in some balls, on the other hand, chemicals such as glue may come out of the balls and contaminate the laundry.
