Free with the family's $15 set · a helper can start it

Helper sheet

  • Big print (18 point or larger), one picture and one text line per step, in the family's words; the printed sheet has the picture per step and the EU care symbols next to the dial words (the sample here shows the text).
  • Who pays: the family, $15 once, if they want the whole set. You never pay. You can print the free dryer card right now on any home printer, or start the helper sheet and send the link to the family to finish.
  • Your language: English, Spanish, German, Portuguese or French under each line, with the American words explained (lint screen is the Flusensieb; a pod is one capsule). Print at home, have the family print it, or send it to a print counter, big and on card stock.

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.
