Great tips here, I just subscribed ! I have a tip or two to give : one, if you are a industrial maintenance worker or are a electrician who has to work on high voltage/amperage equipment never use fabric softener on your clothing, it makes them more flammable ( in case of a electrical arc flash) also you should wear cotton clothing, never polyester...way to flammable. two: you should also clean the inside of your drier and all venting I believe once per year as the lint builds up quickly, dryer fires are fairly common.Thanks for all the great tips ! Bill

Great video! One of the things I've done to replace dryer sheets is to take liquid fabric softener, mix 1 part softener to 10-ish parts water in a spray bottle. Give a wash cloth a few sprays and toss that into the dryer. It doesn't seem to coat the dryer the way sheets do but it does cut the static and any scent is very light. One bottle of softener lasts me about three years. I recently purchased the wool dryer balls and love them for fluffing up towels, kitchen cloths, microfiber cloths, etc. where I won't use any softener at all. As for fluffing items that are hanging dry, outside in air that's moving is the best, or maybe a fan aimed at the drying rack or just shaking out the cloth a couple of times during the drying period. It's getting the fibers loose and dry that fluffs them up.

Hi Melissa...short story...my mother had a dryer fire many, many years ago. She always had cleaned the lint catcher but lint and fuzz had built up on the outside of the drum and that's where the smoldering started. Fire department came....advised her to once in awhile lift the lid and check inside and to also check the venting for build up..........I had dryer balls....bought them twice....they disappeared.....someone...not me....left them in the basket with the clean clothes and I think the dog finished them off. They are a good idea and I think it's time to get more....I like the wool ball...I'll have to look around for some and the foil...great idea. Always enjoy your tips....hugs to you from Fort Langley BC oxoxox

I hang most of my stuff to dry because it saves loads of energy. With towels, I hang them to dry until they're barely damp then tumble dry them. The cycle ends a lot quicker and the towels come out all soft and fluffy :)

I frequently vacuum the dryer vent from the outside of my house. Even with the filter being used properly, I still manage to catch build-up between the machine and the vent. I also detach the collapsible (accordian-like) duct that connects the machine to the vent pipe. Probably saved my house from burning down.

After the items have air dried, just throw them in the dryer and run a NO HEAT cycle (mine defaults to 30 minutes but 5-10 minutes is all you need depending on the items). I do this every time for everything that I air dry: shirts, jeans, pants, delicates, etc. It removes the stiffness in the fabric, especially jeans!

Hi, I have noticed that tennisballs, those fluffy balls, works as good as those dryer balls. Although if they are of the yellow kind it might stain the clothes. They are a little heavier and will have it easier to fluff out towels, pillows and duvets. And as a second tip, dont wash towels, kitchen towels, washcloths and microfiber cloths with fabric softener. It smells nice but it will heavily reduce the absorbing and will often just smear around the stuff you want to wipe away. I use a little white vinegar instead when washing these items to make them smell fresh. Although you probably knew this, but i wanted to share anyway :)
@everynewdayisablessing85096 жыл бұрын
also microfiber towels need to be washed separately from other fabrics, it is just the way they are, and do not add fabric softener to them and dry on low heat or hung outside to dry. i've heard tennis ball can damage you appliance, so be carefull!

In Argentina we use starch liquid for pressing clothes. To avoid wrinkles, I put 50/50 of that starch and water and spray clothes as they go into the dryer. Not only it improves and softens (the comercial starch has silicone based softners) it's mostly wrinkle free as you pull it out of the dryer!

Hi Melissa, great video, sorry no help for the towels when hanging them up to dry, but I did find a DIY wrinkle releaser on Pintrest that works great, 1 cup distilled water 1 tsp rubbing alcohol 1 tsp liquid fabric softener place in spray bottle lightly shake, lightly spray clothes, shake or rub clothes to release wrinkles, there you go. I use when I don't get to the dryer right away or when I pull something out of the closet that is wrinkled. It even worked on the hem of my husband's jeans.

As always, love the videos. But it brought back a funny memory. My Grandfather was the home maker and always hung the clothes out to dry, winter or summer the clothes were on the outside rack, BUT....after the towels, jeans and even socks were dry (without softener) he would iron them. Drying off with a air hung towel that has not been softened and iron makes me LOVE my dryer even more! HA HA!! FYI: Still not used to the modern new washer...its smarter and uses less water than my plants. Love from CT!!!

I use distilled vinegar, about 1/4 pre load. It helps kill bacteria, brightens colors & whites, decrease drying time, to fluff clothes. I've been using the vinegar for about 6 years now. Because the vinegar is distilled it will not leave an odor especially if you use fabric softener like me. Once you use it, you won't go back, it's a laundry staple.

About the matted wash cloth which was hung up. My Mom never put towels or terry cloth into her electric drier. She preferred to have the fiber ‘matted’. She said that when using the towels, they automatically give one a light massage and take off dead skin particles, and help for better circulation. So many times I hang out my wash cloths and towels outside to dry. And when they are slightly deformed, I just gently stretch them into shape and fold them like usual. Helps my skin, helps the environment.

I’ve never had a tumble dryer because of the electricity cost. The consequence of this is that my clothes seem to last a lot longer. Everywhere I go on my travels my clothes always seem to be a bit smaller and a bit crispier when the laundry service hands them back - especially evident along the seams. So at home I hang them up, and I recently acquired a dehumidifier to help keep the air dry and speed up the drying process. Works a treat. Towels aren’t so fluffy though, but I seem to prefer the sandpaper effect as I associate that with being freshly laundered!

I read the manuel and didn't find anything about it in there. Just needed your opinion. Just found out a few months ago about not using but a very small amount of dertergent in the washer after having the guys to come and look at mine after showing alot of soap in mine and sticking on a cycle. Had no idea. The amount I was advised to use will save me a bottle will probably last a year if not more. Said just to pour the bottom of the lid to cover. Thats all.

Being allergic to dust mite frass (droppings) I water-wash my feather pillows occasionally and change my pillow cases frequently. To get the moisture out of the pillow or feather quilts, I bought a cheap pair or canvas shoes to 'rough-up' the feathers and dry faster. One can be used in a lighter load that holds water. To soften towels and other clothes, I rinse and soften my laundry with half- to a cup of white vinegar. After all, it removes shampoo. residue, detangles, and makes my hair shine, so why not laundry? In my experience it works well and leaves no aroma after drying (hair or laundry).

It works ok for me but my brother tells me I live in the stone age because I also don't have a clothes dryer or a dishwasher. Adding white vinegar to the rinse cycle as well as throwing your washcloth/towel in the dryer for a few minutes will help improve the fluff.

***** Tips for fluffiness: You can't really get something like a towel or wash cloth as fluffy without putting it in the dryer, because it's the heat and tumbling that make things fluffy. However, what you can do is use a combination method (95% rack - 5% dryer). Air dry towels and wash cloths on your drying rack first until they're still just a little damp. Then throw them in the dryer for 5 minutes with a dryer ball.

***** if you are the unfortunate victim of forgetting a Kleenex in your pocket in the washing machine, no need to rewash! The dryer will take care of the wet bits of debris and deposit them into the lint trap. To dewrinkle a garment in a flash, throw it into the dryer for 10 minutes. If you have a few items that were handwashed and you want to conserve energy, skip putting them into the washing machine on spin cycle altogether and instead put them into the dryer with a dry towel to absorb the moisture for 20 or so minutes.

I use softener and I do notice IT IS fluffier after washing. We only wash & dry right now since we live in an apt. Will be purchasing our first washer/dryer set soon for our new house! (yay!!!) anyway. I use to wash only with detergent and notice the clothes would come out feeling weird. Eventually somewhat outstretched as well. So I started using softener (Snuggle) and notice there has been a big change on our clothes. Our daughter's clothes use to come out all stretched and deformed after washing with just detergent and feeling rather crunchy after drying. After using Snuggle it isn't deformed looking and is actually soft. Even taking it out of the washer it feels soft. My husband don't use softener and his clothes look old quick. I've also washed her blanket and stuff animals with the softener and it did come out fluffier. But after years of washing it (I think 2 years) it's old and matted up; I think that's normal though. So for me, softener DOES work when we use it in the washer. My mom use to use dryer sheets and that actually makes no difference. Also, because I use softener into the wash our wash cloths and towels come out soft and unmatted.

Totally agree. I put my wet clothes in the dryer to merely heat up the fibers which in turn will remove all the tiny creases from the washing machine. Then I hang everything on hangers to dry.

Even towels dry better after only 5 mins in dryer.

Melissa I have a great tip for you when it comes to making that cloth fluffy again, first soak it in a bowl of warm water with about 4 tablespoons of White Vinegar, soak for about an hour or more, then remove and ring out gently just so it is damp then allow it to dry on your drying rack, then rewash again with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and rinse with a quarter cup of Vinegar and dry in your dry just until it is almost dry but not over dried this is how I do my microfiber cloths and oh I too am in the home cleaning business and use microfiber cloths to clean my clients homes, those cloths come out soft like they were when they were brand new, never dry these cloths on a drying rack this makes them come out stiff and wrinkly

Get someone out to clean the dryer vent itself in a two story house. If you don't, it is a fire hazard and there is a chance that your dryer will catch on fire. In one story houses, you can usually clean it from the outside.

I find that my towels dry fluffier when I hang them to dry outside, especially on a breezy day. Unfortunately, this only works in the summer where I live.

I've made a fabric softener with 1 litre of water and 200 grams of citric acid. I have a dryer but never use it because it usually sets stains I never see and it's so old and not energy efficient. Usually the citric acid softener is good enough at keeping the towels and facecloths soft after hanging up to dry but if for some reason it's still stiff, I'll toss them in the dryer on the Fluff setting (no heat) for about 20 minutes and everything becomes nice and soft. Also if the load of laundry is particularly full of lint and hair, I'll hang dry first then toss the entire load on Fluff for 20 minutes, that usually gets all the hair and lint out

Towels: let them air dry and throw in dryer for 10 minutes, just enough to fluff. It will transform them. :)

I do this trick if I'm using a dryer or not. Hold your towl (mainly bathtowels) horizontally. Where your hands r hanging g onto the same longest side, but close to opposite corners. With your arms held away from your body give your towl a flick. When done correctly you will here a snap. Much like a whip makes. For an alternative to dryer sheets: I use the socks that have holes in the heals. I cut them in half. Starting on the top of the "foot" then working my way to the bottom then back up the back side of the ankle. When I need one I take it and dunk it in an solution of fabric softener and water (about 50/50) and a splash of vinegar (optional). Then squeeze hard and through it in the dryer. I also dry/wipe my hands off on the laundry in the dryer. Another thing I've done when I had to pay to dry my cloths was put a clean, dry, bathtowel in with the load. Then shortens the time needed to be in the dryer. Sometimes I was able to get two loads through on the same payout.

How can you tell if your laundry is truly dry, and safe to put away (to avoid mold)?
