Even high-quality shoes sometimes get wet, especially if you get caught in torrential rain or go out dressed and shoddy out of season. Very useful in such cases, the dryer for shoes - an indispensable electric gadget of modern life. What is it and how to use it? Let's find out!
Types of dryers for shoes
Long gone are the times when shoes were dried only on radiators and with the help of newsprint. For today there are several types of electric dryers for shoes, which differ in their design and appearance:
- Dryers, inside which the heating element is located - the simplest, most convenient and understandable device;
- Some models of antifungal electric shoe dryers are equipped with ultraviolet lamps that prevent the spread of microbes that normally spread actively in a humid environment;
- In addition to the electric wire dryer, special soft mats with a heating element inside are also used for drying shoes. Thanks to convection, the heated air rises, which makes it possible to evenly dry even high shoes, such as winter boots;
- Wall-mounted electric shelf - the dryer for shoes is convenient to use and as an ordinary shelf, when the shoes do not need to be dried. With the help of brackets it can be fixed anywhere - in the bathroom or the hallway;
- in addition to a conventional electric dryer consisting of a wire with a heating element, models that resemble a fan that blows air are used to dry shoes. Such drying will be more gentle for leather shoes;
- An interesting option is an ion drier (deodorizer), the principle of which is based on ionization and heating of air and running it through wet shoes.
How to use a shoe dryer?
Since dryers are different, each has some features of use. And yet, the only goal is to dry the soaked shoes as quickly as possible, and so that it does not deteriorate from the temperature drop and the effects of moisture.
So, a conventional dryer with so-called ohmic heating is simply placed inside the shoes (shoes, boots), and then turn the device into an electrical outlet. Many models are equipped with a timer that allows you to operate the dryer more safely. With him, you will not forget that somewhere in your apartment already dried shoes for two days already dried.
