Which dryers are best for shoes?

Typically, if a dryer is designed to dry a certain type of clothing, it has a special program adapted to this task. Based on this logic, we can assume that if we find a device with a shoe drying function, then it is best suited for this purpose. Today we will look at which dryers dry shoes and how to choose the appropriate mode.

What equipment has a program for drying shoes?

Currently, no manufacturer produces dryers with a program for drying shoes, and there are reasons for this. For these products, drying in a machine poses a great risk. Even sneakers and sneakers stitched and glued with special glue can suffer from such exposure. What will happen to such delicate shoes as shoes and boots is not worth talking about.

Typically, tumble dryers and washer dryers use hot air and a rotating drum to agitate items. Thanks to this, they evenly lose moisture. When clothes are inside the dryer, the equipment spins the drum quite strongly. If you place shoes in such a device, then sneakers, shoes and sneakers will begin to make a lot of noise. In addition, shoes can damage both themselves and the drum if measures are not taken to protect them.

If you decide to use shoe dryers, you will need to select a special program with a gentle effect. In the absence of such a regime, it is better to refrain from this idea. Also remember that it is not recommended to dry your shoes alone.It is worth putting a large rag or an unnecessary towel in the drum in order to prevent damage to shoes and the washing machine. It is also important:

• Check the condition of shoes and sneakers to ensure they are not damaged, which could be worsened by exposure to high temperatures;
• Be sure to wash your shoes thoroughly, as dirt and dust can negatively affect equipment, and leftover cream and wax will not do anything good for your clothes or home textiles.

Also inspect the sole. If small pebbles and other foreign objects are stuck in it, remove them. When it comes to children's shoes, it is important not to forget to remove decorative elements such as bells. This recommendation also applies to products with various decorations, such as rhinestones, sequins, beads and beads.

If your shoes are only glued, but not stitched, it is better to dry them naturally!

Some dryers have special racks designed for shoes, boots and sneakers. They are installed in a drum, and shoes are placed on top of them. This allows air to blow on it from all sides, thereby speeding up the drying process and preventing damage.

Selecting the appropriate drying mode

Materials such as leather and suede cannot withstand strong heat. If your dryer does not have a special program for shoes, choose the most gentle mode. For example, a program for drying delicate fabrics. Avoid using express modes, as the air in them heats up to 60 degrees, which will cause the shoes to shrink and lose their adhesive properties.

All manufacturers try to equip their dryers with special gentle programs.Based on your experience and knowledge of the functions of your “home assistant”, you can choose the appropriate mode yourself. When in doubt, do a test run with an unwanted pair of shoes to make sure the option you choose is actually suitable.

Which dryer is best for shoes?

Schaub Lorenz dryers have a large number of gentle drying programs, which sets them apart from other devices in this segment. The Schaub Lorenz SLR TA821 model, which is capable of processing up to 8 kg of laundry, deserves special attention. It has an easy-to-use electronic control system and a bright LED display that displays all data about the operation of the device. It is also equipped with three drying levels, each of which is designed for a specific volume of laundry. The main advantages of this unit include:

• fault detection system;
• drying level adjustment;
• delayed start;
• canceling the sound signal;
• automatic anti-crease function.

A specially designed option to prevent fabric deformation allows you to reduce the formation of creases on clothes: they will go away even from the thickest sheets and duvet covers, and this will allow you to immediately put them in the chest of drawers after drying. After treatment, the clothes also acquire a fresh scent. When things are dried naturally in summer, they often become too dry, but in winter, on the contrary, they remain too wet. A dryer such as the Schaub Lorenz SLR TA821 allows you to dry textiles up to 5% residual moisture. If you want the material to be in a wetter state, you can independently adjust this setting to your liking.

Thanks to the drum reverse function, you can set the drum to rotate in reverse, which will help avoid severe creases in the fabric. Indicators will show the level of contamination of the filter and condenser, which will allow timely cleaning of these elements, thereby extending the service life of the dryer. In order for the unit to operate silently at night, you can give it a special setting.

It is worth noting that Schaub Lorenz has a condensation type of drying. Using the “Kit” connecting element, such a unit can be installed either separately or in a column with a washing machine. Of the existing 15 programs, we highlight the following:

• additional drying of cotton linen;
• drying cotton products for ironing;
• drying synthetics using a shelf;
• drying synthetic linen for ironing;
• drying by time;
• baby clothes;
• sports;
• blanket;
• mixed fabrics;
• quick dry 29 minutes;
• shirts 12 minutes.

In addition to these programs, the machine has the following modes: “Delicate”, “Refresh Wool” and “Refresh”. They are perfect for drying your shoes. Additional functions of the unit include drying level, easy ironing, drying time and child lock.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that you can dry shoes in dryers with caution. The main thing is to take into account all the risks and recommendations for using the device. It is important to choose high-quality machines and also ensure that drying does not damage your shoes. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consider the type of product, because leather shoes require a special approach than those made from other materials.
