Care labels come first
Some items tolerate tumble drying while others should be dried differently.
Space and humidity matter

Machine drying adds speed
A dryer can reduce turnaround time but adds energy use and equipment maintenance.
Use appliance directions
Lint management and equipment care should follow the dryer's manufacturer instructions.
