Sorting and loading

11

To get the most efficient use of your dryer we recommend you sort your loads.

Before drying

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, etc to reduce snagging and tangling.

Drying times

Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.

Sort your clothes into loads that take a similar time to dry eg heavier items (towels, T-shirts, flannelette sheets) from light items (synthetics and polycotton sheets and shirts). This will prevent some garments becoming overdried while others are still damp.

Spin clothes at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type. The more water you remove in the wash, the less time it will need to dry. (NEVER put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excessive water could cause an electrical hazard.)

Lint

Dry lint givers and lint collectors separately.

To reduce creasing

Shake clothes out and load individually to help clothes dry evenly. Launder permanent press garments separately eg business shirts. Allow enough room for clothes to tumble freely when loading.

Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is completed to reduce the need for ironing.
