LanguageDoing the washing can be enough of a chore without having to think about where you put your appliances. Because let’s face it, while we would all love to be able to dry our laundry on the line all year round, the UK weather is as unpredictable as it gets, which is where tumble dryers come in. Not only are there no risks of impending rainfall, but they’re quick and convenient, and leave your clothes feeling soft and smelling fresh.
Yet while you might love your tumble dryer, you might not be so enthused to have it out all the time. It can look out of place in your kitchen and the noise could interrupt when you’re trying to do other things. This is why many question if it’s safe to put a tumble dryer in the cupboard. We delve into whether or not you can do this and the safety tips you need to consider.
Putting a tumble dryer in a cupboard is a perfectly acceptable thing to do, but it depends on the sort of cupboard you have as to whether or not it will be safe. Here are some tips to keep it free from hazards:
As tumble dryers dry your clothes, they generate heat and moisture which is released into the air. To avoid any fire hazards, make sure you place it in a well-ventilated cupboard. This means that the hot air can escape to prevent fire and the moisture can also be released, preventing the growth of damp and mould that could cause a health hazard.
When putting your tumble dryer in a cupboard, be sure to clear the space around it of any flammable items such as clothes or cleaning supplies. There should be adequate space around all sides for air and heat to escape.
Be sure to always empty your lint tray as this can be a fire hazard if left to build up. You should also remember to empty the water between every dry and regularly inspect its exhaust vent to prevent any blockages that might occur and cause a hazard or prevent it from working properly.
There are many reasons to put your tumble dryer in the cupboard. You might want it to be out of sight if it doesn’t fit in with your kitchen. Perhaps you want to free up space for other appliances, or it could be that it makes too much noise when out on display.
