Never hang-dry heavy knits they because they’ll warp. Your favorite thick sweaters will hold their shape better if you allow them to dry flat. Pull them from the dryer while damp so they can finish air-drying or air-dry them straight out of the wash. Jeans that have stretch are subject to the same concerns of stretchy clothes in general. However, time the dry cycle so you pull them just as they get close to finishing drying to prevent over-drying and shrinkage. Jeans that are 100 percent cotton can go through the dry cycle on the high heat setting since they’re heavier and take longer to dry. Good jeans are hard to find and when you do find that magic pair, you want to keep them forever. That’s why I used hypoallergenic dryer sheets when doing my little one’s laundry. In our home, I needed our baby clothes to be static free but unscented. It’s also another reason not to mix baby clothes with heavier laundry that would dry at a different rate. As such, permanent press or the delicate cycle work best for baby clothes. In addition to being so cute that they might just make you want to have another baby, their diminutive size means they dry very fast. The biggest takeaway about baby clothes is that they’re tiny.

Avoid overheating because that causes polyester fibers to ripple and can damage the clothes over time. Polyester is subject to static cling, as it rubs against other clothes in the dryer, so using a Bounce® dryer sheet is a good idea.

Use the permanent press setting for its medium heat or hang dry. Ever noticed that your poly-blend blouses or tops don’t feel especially damp coming out of the washing machine? That’s the reason.

Polyester fibers are different from natural fibers because they don’t absorb moisture. Most of us have blended fabrics in our closets. If you do use the dryer, keep the setting on low heat. However, if your activewear is super sweaty after a good workout, remember to wash the clothes in hot water if indicated to do so by the care label. That means these items fair better when they dry flat. Stretchy fabrics need special care because these fibers can deteriorate under prolonged exposure to heat. Ensure those yoga pants will last you several seasons with proper care. Moms wear activewear all the time (even when we’re not being particularly active). To prevent static buildup, add a Bounce® dryer sheet atop laundry in the dryer machine. Heavier cotton items like towels and jeans can be dried on high heat. Permanent press typically works best on cotton tees and dresses. Gas dryers usually heat up faster and dry clothes more quickly than electric dryers. That’s why it’s important to know how fast your dryer dries. Natural fibers like cotton scrunch together during rapid drying.
