This is, perhaps, one chore that may be the easiest thing on your list to do, or the one that requires the most effort. Either way, this is a more cost efficient procedure for your consideration. The smart machines you are seeing on the market are more like computers than dryers. Those who can afford them are fortunate to do so. Let’s hope they are making the most of that investment. For the rest of you, your little machines are still doing a fantastic job. However, why not take a look at how to help them keep up the good work?

First, be sure you are taking the time to sort your loads properly. Don’t throw in your lighter materials with your heavy terry cloth towels. The actual drying is compromised, and you will find, not as effective as just doing a load of towels. Consider taking the lighter items and hanging in a sunny place, if not outside! On the other hand, don’t over dry your clothes. If you are a lucky one and have a moisture sensor, then be grateful and use it. Wasted time and effort is the most expensive loss to everyone.

To improve your air circulation, clean the lint screen after every use. If you think that’s not possible, then simply running the screen under wash water gives it a good scrub. Let it air dry. It will be ready to go when you are. The added bonus here is there is no build up of lint, thus eliminating a fire hazard. Use the cool down cycle and let the residual heat in the drum finish drying your clothes. Be sure in venting your dryer that rigid material is used. A plastic vent can collapse, creating a fire hazard that you are not aware of until you have a fire.

There are many good reasons to line dry. It costs nothing! Doing so on a breezy day will eliminate any stiffness in the clothes. Also, you can line dry until the clothes are just barely holding moisture, and then finish up in your dryer. No one will ever know the difference. Did you know the sun kills bed and dust mites? Free bug control! The sun also whitens and deodorizes. How do you dry in the winter time? That one’s easy. Your shower curtain rod is a very convenient indoor clothes line. In addition, racks can be purchased inexpensively and used immediately.
