DRYER

Five steps, then the never list

  1. Step 1: Clean the lint screen first.Pull it out, wipe it, put it back.
  2. Step 2: Check the NEVER list below.Hang those on the rack instead.
  3. Step 3: Load loosely. Half full dries faster.
  4. Step 4: Heat: Low for most things, Medium for towels.Never High for anything with print or stretch. Coin dryer with a timer: Medium, 30 minutes, check, add 10.
  5. Step 5: Take it out while it is still warm. Fold or hang.

NEVER IN THE DRYER

  • Never: Anything whose tag says do not tumble dry, line dry or dry flat
  • Never: Anything still stained (heat sets it)
  • Never: Anything with print or iron-on numbers
  • Never: Wool sweaters
  • Never: Leggings, swimsuits, sports bras
  • Never: Rubber-backed mats and anything plastic-coated
  • Never: Anything that had oil, grease, gas or solvent on it, even after washing (dryer fire)
  • Never: No label? Line dry
Did it work? The lint screen is clean and nothing on the NEVER list is in the drum.
