Loading Hints
As a general rule, if clothes are
sorted properly for the washer, they
are sorted properly for the dryer.
Sort by color
(Separate colorfast from
non-colorfast fabrics*)
Whites
•
Lights
•
Darks
•
Separate by fabric type
Cottons and linens
•
Permanent press cottons
•
and blends
Synthetic and poly knits
•
Delicates
•
Avoid drying very small loads.
•
Sort clothes by weight so you
•
won't have to run an extra cycle
for one or two heavier, slower
drying items.
Do not add fabric softener sheets
•
once the load has become warm.
This may cause fabric softener
stains.
Do not overload. This causes
•
inefficient operation and
unnecessary wrinkling. Clothes
need to tumble freely.
Separate lint producers from
lint collectors
Lint producers: terry cloth and
•
chenille
Lint collectors: velveteen and
•
corduroy
