As a general rule, if clothes are
sorted properly for the washer, they
are sorted properly for the dryer.
Sort by color
(Separate colorfast from
non-colorfast fabrics*)
• Whites
• Lights
• Darks
Separate by fabric type
• Cottons and linens
• Permanent press cottons
and blends
• Synthetic and poly knits
• Delicates
Separate lint producers from
lint collectors
• Lint producers: terry cloth and
chenille
• Lint collectors: velveteen and
corduroy
• Heavy Items
• Light Items
* Non-colorfast fabrics may bleed or fade. Sort by
individual color.
Sorting
• Avoid drying very small loads.
• Sort clothes by weight so you
won’t have to run an extra cycle
for one or two heavier, slower
drying items.
• Do not add fabric softener sheets
once the load has become warm.
This may cause fabric softener
stains.
• Do not overload. This causes
inefficient operation and
unnecessary wrinkling. Clothes
need to tumble freely.
• Do not dry the following items:
• Fiberglass items
• Woolens
• Rubber coated items
• Plastics
• Items with plastic trim
• Foam-filled items
