Tumble Dryer for Work?

[G2EWS]

Hi All,

Having enjoyed getting wet today, I am now happy to do my commute when it is raining.

The problem is, I won't be able to dry my clothes well enough during the day. Extra sets of clothes will come in the future, but right now I only have one complete 'colder' weather set'.

I could put an electric towel radiator in the bathroom at work and indeed may do so anyway, but it occurred to me that a small tumble dryer may be more efficient.

This thread is on the off chance that someone has gone down this same route and can recommend a small dryer. Or perhaps you might have a better idea?

Thanks as always for your help.

Best regards

Chris

Soaking wet lycra and specific cycling gear from a wet mornings commute dries out way before I get to cycle home.
I hang it up near the offices hot water/CH boiler and it's all dry in a couple of hours.

I just hang mine up on a coatstand next to my desk. Take spare socks, for some reason socks don't dry quickly

Will try that next week as it is due to rain most days and keep my fingers crossed. Horrible putting on wet or damp clothes!

I dry all my cheap commute stuff in my tumble dryer at work,and if it rains wear cheap shorts,as I would never dry my best castelli bibs in the dryer ,I have put them on wet when i have got caught in a storm,I want to keep the pad tip top,some makes don't recomend you dry cycle shorts in a tumble dryer

Think White Knight used to do a small tumble drier
Never got called out to one when I was a service engineer
So either they're reliable or there's not that many out there

None of my sports or cycle gear is drier friendly.
Check your labels first.

Hi Sandra,

I think you might be right. Glad I asked what I thought was a dumb question now.

Based on Ian suggesting that it dries quickly I think I will install an electric towel dryer.

Server room works well.

you can get a small desktop cylinder dryer, a bit like the massive tub ones the americans use. I'm sure Comet do them, but they're not much larger than a waste paper bin

I hate to gloat but our MD is a mad keen cyclist and had a changing room built, along with a washing machine, dryer and power showers...

tumble drying unwashed clothes will eventually lead to the dryer stinking.
