Using a Clothes Dryer

Quck answer

Using a clothes dryer is a simple process that involves a few key steps. First, make sure to sort your clothes by fabric type and color. Next, load the dryer with the appropriate amount of clothes, making sure not to overload it. Select the desired drying cycle and temperature based on the fabric care label on your clothes. Start the dryer and allow it to run for the specified amount of time. Once the cycle is complete, remove your clothes promptly to prevent wrinkles. Lastly, clean the lint trap after each use to maintain the dryer’s efficiency and prevent fire hazards.


A guide on how to effectively use a clothes dryer to ensure clean and fresh clothes.

Step 1

Prior to each load, make sure to clean the lint filter or screen.

Step 2

Before placing washed items in the dryer, inspect them for any stains that may not have been removed. The heat from the dryer can set these stains in.

Step 3

Give each garment a shake before transferring them from the washer to the dryer.

Step 4

Choose the appropriate dryer cycle. Use the regular cycle for loads with mostly all-cotton fabrics, or select the permanent-press cycle for loads consisting mainly of synthetic or permanent-press fabrics (the cool-down period helps prevent wrinkling).

Step 5

Include a fabric softener sheet in the dryer.

Step 6

Once the clothes are dry, promptly remove them and hang them up.
