Discovering Whether Carpets Belong in the Dryer
I’ve always wondered if drying carpets in a dryer is safe. This journey has led me to find out the realities of carpet maintenance, including practical alternatives.
Smaller rugs might be dryer-safe, while large carpets may not. Rubber-backed carpets can warp in the dryer. Some carpets may fade or discolor in the dryer. Remember, always check the care label and consult with professionals for best results.
