To tumble dry or not to tumble dry – Is that still a question?

Did you ever shrink your new jeans in the tumble dryer? Or stretch a loved t-shirt so much it could only fit a giant squid? Each garment comes with tumble dry instruction symbols, and if you never want to cry tears of sadness over losing your favorite garment, read on.

Understand the symbols

On your garments, you will see one of the following symbols:

  • a square with an empty circle inside it means you can dry the garment in the tumble dryer,
  • a square with a circle inside it and one dot means you can dry the garment on a low-heat setting,
  • a square with a circle inside it and two dots means you can dry the garment on a high-heat setting,
  • and a square with a circle inside it that’s crossed through means you can’t tumble dry this garment and should opt for the clothesline or drying rack instead.

Choose a tumble dryer that understands

Convenient and time-saving tumble dryers are one of the household appliances that have greatly changed our lives for the better, especially if you own one with the features listed below.

• AntiCrease function – because ironing shouldn’t be neccessary

Ever feel like ironing is just another chore on your never-ending to-do list? You can rely on your washing machine’s AntiCrease function to take it off your hands.

Can’t make it back to the laundry room right away? The dryer’s got you covered — it keeps things moving for at least another hour so you can live your life without coming back to a wrinkled mess. The tumble action and special 3D rib design prevent clothes from getting tangled or bundled up, which improves drying efficiency, while a 10-minute period at the end of the drying cycle slowly cools down the laundry load to further reduce the possibility of creasing.

If you frequently forget about your laundry or live a very busy life, you’ll also love that the AntiCrease function makes your washing machine periodically tumble your laundry until you’re ready to dry it. Less wrinkles, even if you don’t have time to unload the washing machine right away.

• AdaptTech Drying – because your dryer should be as unique as you

With the AdaptTech function, a dryer remembers your preferred settings for specific programs. Whether you used the ExtraDry function, adjusted the drying temperature, or selected the anti-crease function before, your dryer memorizes those preferences for your next use – and saves you time and effort.

• Baby Care Program – because your dryer should care about what you care about most

Baby clothes often require extra attention, and Gorenje tumble dryers tackle the challenge. The Baby Care program ensures perfectly dry and less wrinkled baby clothes so you can focus on playing and cuddling with your little ones instead.

• NatureDry – because nature does it best

Nothing beats the natural freshness of air-dried laundry. But Gorenje has the second best – the NatureDry program mimics the natural drying process and safely dries even the most delicate fabrics, such as sportswear by utilizing lower temperatures.

• GentleDry – because your favorites need gentle care

Delicate fabrics require special care, and the GentleDry feature delivers. Operating at a gentle 40°C, this extended drying cycle is a time investment that ensures your most fragile garments remain in top shape. You can trust your dryer to take care of your wardrobe.

A washing machine that takes care of itself.

The new Gorenje WaveActive superior line of washing machines not only delivers perfectly clean clothes using less energy, water, and time, but it also eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria from your washing machine, ensuring consistently fresh and odourless laundry!
