Ah yes—this is one of those hidden washing machine features that most people completely overlook 🧺✨
Here’s the scoop:
Not All Washing Machines Are Just Washers
Many modern washing machines, especially front-loaders and combo units, actually have a built-in drying function—sometimes called “wash & dry” or “eco dry.”
Why Most People Don’t Know
- Labels can be confusing
- Drying cycles are less obvious than the washing options
- Some think they need a separate dryer
How It Works
- After the wash cycle, the machine switches to spin + heat mode.
- Moisture is removed using hot air or high-speed spinning.
- Laundry comes out damp-to-dry, sometimes even fully dry depending on cycle length.
Tips for Using This Feature Safely
- Don’t overload the machine—drying needs space for airflow
- Check fabric labels—some delicate fabrics may shrink
- Use appropriate cycle settings (some machines have “cotton dry,” “synthetic dry,” etc.)
- Clean the lint filter if your machine has one
Benefits
- Saves space if you don’t have a separate dryer
- Reduces laundry room clutter
- Saves time during rainy or winter months
💡 Bonus: Some machines even have eco-dry modes to save energy while drying.
