Why do clothes shrink in the dryer?

b/c they are not on the right cycle.

Great tip.  Also use the air dryer (if available) to save paper towels.

pens disappear as everyone needs or wants one and the never find their way back. as for the hangers. you take clothes off each day until the end of the week when you do laundry. it will look empty until you wash them and hang the clothes back up. not to mention when you have clothes done at the cleaners you gain more hangers. when you buy them from stores you get more that way also. but some you put in drawers so it appears you have more when you don't.

Two reasons: dis-similar materials and it is an insulator.\n\nHere's how: When you drag a plastic comb through your hair, or rub a ballon against your hair or take a nylon coat off while wearing a polyester sweater, you are rubbing two different materials together.\n\nOne material has a slightly greater affinity for electrons and picks up some from the surface of the other material.  So one item ends up being negatively charged and the other ends up being positively charged.  This enables you to stick the charged ballon to the ceiling, but it also gives you a static spark when you touch something grounded like a light switch.\n\nJust like rubbing your feet (while wearing shoes) on the carpet to zap another kid back in school.  You can build up 1,000-2,000 volts of static electricity (at a very, very low amperage!).\n\nIf the material were a conductor, the charge would be carried away.  So it does not happen with metals.\n\nIt only happens on dry days because humid air bleeds off the charge.  So we mostly notice the effect inside during winter when our heating systems create dry indoor air.\n\nThere are anti-static sprays sold for computer users for carpets and clothes that make them a little bit conductive.  "Anti-cling" sheets to add to the clothes dryer do the same thing.

why don't you use a damp dryer sheet, it really cleans a dryer out then just dry it off good

with a ... dry cloth ?

It is because of space I'm afraid.  The country is very small and very overcrowded in many areas.  As a result we have never developed the practice of separate laundry rooms.  Some more modern suburban houses nowadays have utility rooms.

Add moisture to the air, boil a pan of water. Plus, a dryer sheet will help with the clothes.

The movement from the washer in the spin cycle helps to remove the water from the sopping wet clothes.  The faster the movement (spinning), the more water will be removed.

Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air.  That is why a clothes dryer uses heated air to draw the moisture from the clothes.  It is also why when warm moist air meets cold air it results in precipitation.

After much wear & tear from the washing machine & repeated wearings, the fibers will break off. Some fabrics' fibers break more easily than others.\n\nThe science behind it is that static electricity builds up in the dryer as it tumbles the clothes around. This static helps pull the fibers away from the clothes & hopefully into the lint filter. If it gathers in the actual drier then I would check the lint filter. That is a possible fire hazard.

Maybe it dried on your pants and you were unaware...just start washing EVERYTHING.

Always keep the dryer cartridge closed!\nProtect against moisture!\nFollow instructions precisely!\n\nIs this a condensing clothes dryer?

I put mine in the dryer for about 5 minutes before hanging them on plastic hangers, it gets the initial moisture out, as well as wrinkles and helps the shirt go back to original shape..just don't forget about them! Hope that helps

only if there are thrown into a dryer

Of course you can. Just put the used ones in clothes washer on delicate cycle. Warning don't wash more than 20 at a time or they won't be totally cleaned. When finished put them in your dryer on low heat for no more than 20 minutes.  PS - if they shrink give them to a friend that has a smaller penis.

The closths are all rubbing against each other in the drier. And they are made of different materials (polyester, cotton, nylon and blends). While they are still wet, any electricity built up from the rubbing in the drier is dispersed through the water and the positive and negative charges short out, leaving a net of zero. \n\nBut as they dry, it gets harder and harder for the electrical charge to 'flow' and it just accumulates on different fabrics. More positive on some, more negative on others. And since this charge cannot easily flow, it's called 'static electricity'. And the postive charge on one peice of clothing attracts the negative charge on another and they 'stick'.
