Don't Dry Your Favorite Outfit in the Dryer

If you really love that new washable outfit, or any clothing that doesn't require a dryer, don't use the dryer. The dryer is what will wear out your clothes faster than wearing them. Always check for spots than need pre-treatment, and don't use the dryer.

You are SO right. I only dry my clothes for 3 min on delicate to get out the wrinkles- they go out of style but they rarely wear out.

On the other hand, my favorite outfit came back from the dry cleaners with a very disagreeable odor that did not fade and it was scratchy. So I had to wash it, I just added a softener in the rinse cycle and then hung it to dry.
