How to properly use a dryer
Posted On: August 9, 2020

Many people view the automatic clothes dryer as a necessity to everyday life, alongside the washing machine. Some areas don’t tolerate outdoor clotheslines, and dryer racks aren’t the best choice for larger items. Many of us simply do not have the time for clothes to air dry, but are you using your automatic dryer to its full potential?

Getting Good Looking Clothes from Your Dryer
Using your dryer efficiently is more complex than simply pushing a button. Take the time to learn how to use your machine’s various heat levels and settings to your advantage. The level of heat chosen should depend on the types of fabrics being dried. Not everything needs to be dried hot.

Don’t add wet items to a partially dry load. This will confuse the moisture detector in the dryer and could over dry some of your clothing. Also, don’t open the dryer door when it is unnecessary. Doing so will add time to the drying cycle by allowing warm air escape.
