Hang Dry

No doubt, the washing instructions for some of the clothing in your wardrobe recommend “hang dry.” This process is also known as drip dry or line dry.

These instructions apply to certain clothes because the intense heat of an electric dryer can shrink, stretch, unevenly wear, or otherwise warp or damage these garments.

And when you hire out for clothes washing services, you don’t want “hang dry” items baked to death in a 1,000-watt commercial dyer. The mistake of heat drying hanging dry clothes can land you with several loads of laundry that are all but ruined. A fate no one wants to face.

Fortunately, Hollywood Dry Cleaners can help! As an add-on service to our laundry and folding service, we offer the option to have your laundry put on a clothes drying hanger.

What Types of Clothing Should Be Hang Dried?

• Many clothes made from synthetic fabrics can shrink or stretch, sometimes by several sizes, and in some cases even melt in a super-heated dryer.
• Spandex and elastic often become worn out by a dryer’s intense heat and consequently lose their stretchy elasticity.
• Cotton, unless pre-shrunk, typically shrinks in the dryer. And depending on the quality, some cotton clothing will shrink significantly.
• Denim, which is mostly cotton, is also guaranteed to shrink in the dryer.
