DRY PREPARATION Sorting Sort items into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. This prevents the possibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new. Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.

DRY PREPARATION Before you load Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
