What are some general tips on drying lingerie?
• When possible, only line-dry lingerie. This will increase its life considerably. • If you do put lingerie items into the dryer, first lightly shake out the items, or untwist them before placing them in the dryer. This will allow even drying and reduce wrinkling. • Don’t overload the dryer. A stuffed dryer will not allow the items to tumble. Drying will be slower and clothes will wrinkle. • All clothing should be left in the dryer just long enough to remove wrinkles and moisture. Any longer, and the heat can actually set wrinkles, increase static cling and cause shrinkage. This can be true for natural and man-made fibers. • Acrylic, nylon, polyester, and microfibers have low moisture absorbency so are fast drying and should be dried using a low temperature setting. • Once you remove your items from the dryer, immediately hang or fold them. Clothes left in a heap will wrinkle.
