Dryer tips
Preparation
* A high washer spin speed or double spinning the clothes will use less energy than the extra drying required if you do not.
* Shake out garments as they are taken from the washer before putting them into the dryer to avoid slower longer drying while also preventing wrinkling.
* A large dry towel placed in the load will absorb moisture speeding up drying time, (two or three towels for larger loads).
* Clean lint trap before each use
Sorting
* Try to keep like items together - Light weight things with other light weight things - thick towels with other thick things, etc.
* Permanent press should not be placed with towels.
* Lingerie should be dried separately.
Loading
* Larger loads dry more economically but to large of a load will cause lint problems on garments. What ever fits comfortably in the dryer should be the "rule of thumb".
* Avoid putting wet items in a partially finished load, drying them separately will be the better choice.
Drying tips
* Dry clothes only long enough to dry them, drying beyond that point will shorten the life of the garments, increase static cling, cause shrinkage and can actually set wrinkles.
* If garments have been dried to long causing them to wrinkle, throw a damp towel into the load and run for 1/4 hour intervals until all wrinkles are removed.
* Hang or fold all garments immediately after drying to avoid causing wrinkles.
* Removing items from dryer while still slightly damp they will need less ironing especially if they are hung up immediately.
* Dry woolen items only 10 or 15 minutes at the most removing them while still damp and before they are very warm to hang up.
* Blankets should be removed before completely dry and spread over a flat surface to dry.
Efficiency and economy steps
* Locate dryer in a heated and/ or insulated space so that it will not need to work as hard, reducing operating expense.
* Cleaning the dryer filter before each use increases efficiency and reduces lint on garments.
* Periodically check the outside dryer vent to be sure it is clean and the flapper opens and closes easily, if not replace the hood it to prevent heat lose.
* Electric dryers, (only), can serve as a supplemental heat source during winter months with no hazard by merely disconnecting the vent hose.
