No, it is not recommended to put wet clothes in the dryer before drying them. The purpose of a dryer is to remove moisture from your clothes, and putting wet clothes directly into the dryer can lead to several issues:
Inefficiency: Wet clothes will take longer to dry in the dryer, which will waste energy and increase the drying time.
Potential damage: Depending on the fabric and the type of dryer, putting excessively wet clothes in the dryer may cause damage to the dryer's heating element or other components due to prolonged exposure to high levels of moisture.
Wrinkling and shrinking: Wet clothes can become wrinkled when left in the dryer for an extended period. Additionally, some fabrics may shrink if exposed to high heat while still wet.
To ensure efficient and safe drying, it's best to wring out or spin-dry your wet clothes before putting them in the dryer. By removing excess water beforehand, you can reduce the drying time and avoid potential issues. If your dryer has a moisture sensor feature, it can help regulate the drying process more effectively when the clothes are not excessively wet. Always check the care label on your clothes for specific drying instructions and recommended settings to prevent any damage or mishaps.
