Drying Tee Shirts

Harpa — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 12:03:36 GMT

Who are the little gremlins hanging out in the dryer who turn tee shirts inside out? Whether cotton or fabric blends?

I dry everything on no heat, even towels. With clothing I dry on the gentle, perm press cycle.

@Harpa I don't know but they are the same little ones that sometimes turn mine inside out in the washer. 👽👾👕👚

Happens at my house too. Had to prove this phenomenon to my husband as he just thought I threw everything in wrong side out. It doesn't happen to every t shirt, but it happens to a lot.

I turn all my clothes inside out when I wash/dry them. Kurds chance of pilling.

Same thing happens in my house. I use No Heat Fluff Air Cycle for 30 minutes and mysteriously some of my tee shirts turn inside out.

I thought it was just me until I saw this blog lol

@ALRATIBA I do, too. It's just the mystery of why some get turned back and others stay the way you put them in. Kind of like the missing sock dilemma.

Yes! What's up with that? Geez! I think it's the same gremlins that like to pull out the loops on towels so that I have to cut the strings off.

What mine does occasionally is twist items like shirts or sleeves or sheets into tight columns. I smooth them out beore drying, but the diagonal marks remain.

I don't have the problem with t shirts but my bras are a different story. I wear a stretch bra with modesty pads in the cup. Once in awhile one of the pads will some how get out of one cup and wind up in the other cup perfectly aligned with it. It baffles my mind. The opening on each cup is about one inch and somehow the pad makes it out of 1 cup and perfectly in the other cup. I don't know how the heck it does that!,!

From what I have heard you don't wash the pads, you remove them before washing. They only mentioned this once on hsn when someone else had the same problem.

I haven't had any tee shirt issues since I purchased those plastic "dryer balls". I think they keep the clothing moving around in a circular motion...not getting stuck in one position.

@Harpa

Next time turn your tees inside out before placing them in the dryer. That way they'll be turned right side out when you get them out of the dryer after their done.

I wash most of my clothes inside out. Then I put some of them on hangers, still inside out because of the possible bird poop, and hang them on the outside clothes lines.

In cold or wet weather, I have inside racks or lines I put up on the rafters to get the clothes dry.

Now that I read my post, I'm already getting tired. It is more work, but clothes and delicates do not shrink or get damaged. Sheets dry wonderfully fresh too.

I am also lucky to live in a very mild climate.
