Drying Do’s

Did you know the clothes dryer is one of your home’s biggest energy users?

Here are some tips on how to use your clothes dryer more efficiently.

  • Make the most of the cycle and only dry full loads. If you have a smaller load, be sure to adjust dry time and temperature accordingly.
  • Dry towels and heavier cotton in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes. This helps the dryer run more efficiently and eliminates unnecessary wear and tear on lightweight clothes.
  • Do not overdry clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it. Dryer balls can help agitate the clothes so they dry faster and more evenly.
  • Clean the lint screen in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation and prevent fire hazards.
  • Use the cooldown cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the heat remaining in the dryer.
  • Clean the outside dryer vent every three months. A long-handled brush designed for this purpose can be a big help.
