Our home appliances are very valuable. Combining the expenses for all the appliances inside the house – whether small or big – will sum up to an unbelievable amount. Small appliances are found in the kitchen – in cabinets or on table counters. Bigger items are fixed in some areas. Washing machines and dryers are among the bigger ones and maybe placed outside the house, in the space allocated as laundry area. All the appliances need to be protected and washing machine and dryers need washing machine and dryer covers, respectively. Among the most neglected appliances are these laundry appliances especially the dryers. Seldom do we find dryer covers.
Washing machines and dryers go together. They are the tandem in the laundry area. Washer and dryer are usually made of plastic which are susceptible to damages such as scratches and dents. With constant use and not being cared for, they can easily look smashed up. Protective layers are needed in situations like this. The washer and dryer, though inanimate, are in need of protective gears – the washer and dryer covers.
Features of a good quality dryer covers
- Durability is one of the most important features of a dryer cover. As the dryer, like the washer, is frequently used without much care and concern, their life can be short. For additional durability, the dryer cover is double stitched.
- The dryer cover must be water repellent. Like the washing machine, the dryer is exposed to water and therefore needs a waterproof protective cover.
- The cover must be mildew resistant. Mildew grows best in damp areas and dryers are frequently exposed to water.
- The dryer cover must be an effective protection for the dryer – protected against dust, dirt and moisture. The dryer must also be protected from electric failure because of exposure to water.
- The material of the dryer cover must be of heavy duty poly cotton or vinyl which is long lasting.
- The fabric or cover material must be breathable.
- The protective gear of the dryer must be pre-shrunk so that the dryer cover remains fitted to the machine.
- Reliability is another good feature of a dryer cover.
- The dryer cover must be an easy slip on and slip off and that the back is open to allow for water and electric connections.
Nobody would ever think about the importance of dryer covers. The dryer is one of the most desired household help. Without covers, the value of the dryer can diminish tremendously because of damages on the machine’s body.
