Sort

If you have correctly sorted the items for washing,
they should be properly sorted for drying too.

Figure 1

Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint.
Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent press,
and synthetics attract lint.

In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry
faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are
dried together (such as sheets and towels), remove the
lighter weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent
overdrying and wrinkling. The best method is to dry
clothes which require the same time and temperature
in the same load.

Load

Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight,
determines the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it
could cause discoloration or permanent heat damage to
the load. There should be space in the dryer for the
clothes to tumble freely. This helps to reduce wrinkles.
Large and small pieces together make up loads which
will tumble well. Permanent press loads should be
smaller to provide room for tumbling. Proper tumbling
allows for fewer wrinkles. Figure 2 shows the ideal
load sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the
cylinder one third to half full when wet.

Figure 2

A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will
not tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and
they may be wrinkled. For small loads, add a couple of
large towels or non-lint-shedding items to aid in
tumbling.
