Place it in front of the laundry and direct the top outlet towards the laundry. The dehumidifier will then blow the laundry dry while removing all excess air from the room.
A dehumidifier is a much more energy-efficient way to dry laundry compared to a tumble dryer. It also removes all moisture from the room.
When laundry dries, a lot of moisture is released into the air. A dehumidifier designed for drying laundry removes moisture from the air whilst gently blowing dry air onto the laundry, which makes the clothes dry faster.
If laundry smells sour or musty after drying, it is often because it has dried too slowly in a room with high humidity. When clothes are damp for a long time, bacteria can start to grow in the fabric, creating the sour smell. Using a dehumidifier in the laundry room or the room where the laundry is hanging reduces the humidity and the clothes dry faster.
