DRYING TIPS
• Separate dark colors from light colors;
colorfast from non-colorfast. Items
properly sorted by color for washing
are usually properly sorted for drying.
• Separate heavy fabrics (denim,
towels) from light fabrics (synthetics,
permanent press).
• Separate lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible,
turn lint takers inside out.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to
avoid snagging other items. Remove
heat-sensitive trim that can be damaged
by drying. Tie strings and sashes so
they will not tangle.
• Check garments for spots and stains
left after washing. Do not tumble these
items. Heat may permanently set stains.
• Check pockets before drying. Sharp
or metal objects can damage your
dryer. Do not lay these objects on
your dryer, they can damage the
finish. Turn pockets of heavy items
inside out for even drying.
• Place small items such as baby
socks or hankies in laundry bag for
easy removal.
• Articles to be ironed should be
removed while still damp.
