No, you should strictly avoid placing garments marked with a "Do Not Tumble Dry" care label into a mechanical clothes dryer. Manufacturer care labels carry this warning because high heat and rigorous tumbling can permanently ruin delicate fabrics by shrinking wool and silk, warping synthetic spandex, melting rubberized waistbands, or destroying the waterproof membrane on technical outerwear. You can troubleshoot fabric safety easily by reading garment tags. You can verify that you are protecting your wardrobe when air-drying sensitive garments flat on a rack or hanging them up naturally, reserving the machine dryer exclusively for sturdy cottons, linens, and durable synthetic items.
