Was There A Time Before The Tumble Dryer?

Currently, technology has made it possible for people to do their laundry quickly and efficiently. This has been made possible by the use of washing machines and dryers. Laundry can be fully done in less than an hour depending on the amount of clothes you are washing. In the past, this was not possible. Laundry would take at least a day from the time the process begun to when it was finished. A tumble dryer is a machine that is used to dry wet clothes. It is very efficient and can dry clothes in a matter of minutes. In the past, such a machine was a dream. However, people still had some ideas that they could implement to dry their clothes quicker than the sun and wind could do.

For starters, in the western part of United States, cowboys had their own method of washing clothes. Since they travelled by day and slept at night, the best way to make sure they have clean outfits

LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 07:  The new Whirlpool...

was by washing their clothes at night. This gave them the challenge of drying these clothes by morning. To avoid the clothes getting dump and risk mold growing on them, they used to dry them by the fire. A fire was important if wild animals were to be kept at bay. This being the case, it was only prudent for a person to dry their using the same fire that they would use to cook their dinner. In most cases, the clothes were dry by dawn and they could be worn as they were clean. In the event the clothes failed to dry, the wearer had to put them on as irrespective of the level of dampness.

People who used to travel by train found ways and means that they could keep their clothes dry after washing them. Wind is an important factor when it comes to drying clothes. This means that the higher the amount of wind experienced, the quicker clothes would dry. On a train, it would be hard for clothes to get dry if they were hung on the inside. However, hanging them on the outside proved to be a good way to dry the clothes quickly. The wind that passed through the clothes as the train was moving helped dry them up in a few hours. Unfortunately, clothes that were not fastened properly to the body of the train would disappear with the wind.
Normal homesteads also found their own method of drying clothes that were needed urgently. When a person got news that they had to travel immediately, they would need to carry some clothes. In the event the clothes were not clean, they had to wash them and dry them quickly. In homesteads that lacked iron boxes, the only method was to dry the clothes by the fire during the evening. Once the clothes were slightly damp, they would be folded properly and placed under the mattress. The warmth from the body of the person sleeping on them created a drying and ironing effect. Some teenagers still use some of these methods when their drier is broken. The methods work but they are not as efficient as the tumble dryer.
