Drying
Your Linens
There
is nothing better than linens dried with plenty of air and sunshine.
It will help keep your whites brighter. Your linens will be fresh
smelling and almost wrinkle free.
If hanging them outside is not
an option, using an inside line in the laundry room or over the bath
tub will be just fine. Always check for remaining stains on your
clothes before using your dryer. The heat will probably set the
stain into the fabric.
As
soon as the clothes are dry, remove them quickly and fold them right
away. If left too long your garments might wrinkle or shrink!
Keep you lint filter always clean as your dryer will
be more efficient.
How to dry
your fabrics
Linen :
Before
placing them in the dryer, it is always a good idea to shake your
linens after you remove them from the washing machine. Most of us
use the dryer, but I have found it easier to remove my sheets while
still a little damp, making ironing a breeze. Just shake them,
smooth them out and iron them right away, but make sure they are
very dry before you fold them If you have difficulty ironing a deep
wrinkle, use a spray bottle filled with mineral water and dampen
your linen before ironing. It is more practical than using your
iron's built-in mister. If your linens stayed too long in the dryer
do not worry, they will reabsorb the moister in the air in time. A
little sachet of lavender will do wonders! Try it.
Cotton: Cotton
can be dried on an outside line or in the dryer. Just make sure you
use medium to high setting.
Flannel:
Flannel
blankets or sheets can be dried at medium heat and should be removed
quickly to avoid wrinkling.
Fleece:
To prevent pilling, fleece
blankets should be dried at low setting and removed promptly.
Caring
for your linens
Sheets: When
using a dryer, do not overfill it and make sure the setting is on
low heat cycle to avoid wrinkling by over drying them.
Using the permanent press option
will certainly help since it has a cool down cycle that reduces
wrinkling.
No
matter what, new linens made of natural fibers tend to wrinkle more.
As time goes by and after a few washes they will get softer to the
touch and will be easier to care for and wrinkle less.
Towels: You
can tumble dry your towels promptly in the dryer.If
you decide to air dry them, they need to be shaken a few times
during the drying process to help the loops in the terrycloth
regains their plush and fluffy texture.
Table Cloths:
It's a good idea to take out
your tablecloth while still damp from your dryer as it makes ironing
a breeze As always I appreciate any comments or contribution to the
