Air drying
Air drying is a method of removing moisture from objects or substances by exposing them to air, allowing natural evaporation to occur. This process relies on the airflow and ambient humidity to gradually reduce moisture content without the need for heat or other external energy sources. Common uses include drying clothes outdoors, preserving herbs, or curing paints and inks. Effective air drying depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and air circulation—the warmer and drier the environment, the faster the drying process. It’s an energy-efficient and gentle way to dry materials, often preserving their quality better than high-heat methods.
