Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. Different fabric types will tend to dry at different times.

For best results, do not drape items over the top rack.

Leave space between items to allow for unrestricted airflow for even drying.

Do not hang knit items. They may stretch from the weight of the wet fabric.

Some garments may show hanger lines.
