A UV dryer? You must be dreaming. Besides that it would bleach the clothes (what may be beneficial to WHITE but ONLY to white clothes), I would be skeptical about aging of the fibres. UV light is a bitch.

But I have heard about Japanese laundry machines using ultrasonic sound.



Obviously a UV dryer wouldn't have higher UV flux than sunlight, if for no other reason than cost.

Regarding photobleaching, survey the rest of this thread of people complaining clothes dried on the line turning white and then crumbling to dust.


Not UV for the whole job, UV in addition to hot air and tumbling.


well, the sun tends to fuck up the clothes as well, and the sun definitely has UV.
