You're using your DRYER all WRONG! 🔴

You're probably using your dryer all wrong, but that's okay. I did it for many, many years until I actually learned what all these settings mean. Let's get into it, I'm here to help. I'm a house cleaner in Michigan, so make sure to hit that follow button so you don't miss any other cleaning videos. Now, this is a pretty common dryer. This is a Whirlpool, but a lot of them are similar as far as the settings. So even if you don't have this specific dryer, you're going to have similar settings. Let's start off with the timed dry. This is pretty self-explanatory. You can set the dryer for however many minutes you think it's going to take to dry your load. This is what my mom always taught me to put it on, and then I became an adult and I switched. I'll tell you why. This is the fluff air setting, which is clearly no heat. Some people use this for like certain fabrics or those who kind of like, if you ever like set your clothes outside to dry in the summertime, that's basically what this is mimicking. But it's only 30-minute increments. Like that's the highest it goes. So that is not for like a full load of laundry. That's for like one or two things. This is where it gets interesting, okay? I want you guys to pay attention to the automatic dry setting over here. This is actually going to save you money on your energy bill. That's why it says energy preferred. Quick note, you always want to turn your dial clockwise. You don't ever want to go the other way, that could end up breaking it. Ask me how I know. The energy preferred setting is going to dry your clothes in way less time than like let's say the 70-minute one up here. So like I said, it's going to save you money and it's going to run the load a lot quicker and faster to save electricity. And by far my favorite setting is the wrinkle shield. If you're still watching, pay attention, this is so cool. If you dry your clothes on this setting, once it shuts off, it's actually going to start up on its own, like every, it's either every five or seven minutes, and it's going to run the dryer for a few minutes so that way you don't get wrinkles in your clothes. This is such a great idea for busy moms or if you're not sure when you're going to be able to take the load out, because let's be honest, not all of us grab the load once it's done. This is phenomenal. I love to dry on wrinkle shield. I want to talk about temperature real quick. Now, a lot of people assume that when you have a full load of like, let's say clothes, you have to run it on high. That is not true. Most of my clothes I dry on low, sometimes medium, but on the low setting, it will dry a whole load of laundry as long as it's not overfilled. If you dry your clothes on a lower setting, that's also going to help prevent like shrinkage and things like that. I think it's really important. Sometimes I use the high setting for like blankets, or if I just need something, you know, dried quicker and it's not clothes, I'll use it on high. Of course, the cycle signal will beep or make a noise if you turn that off or on. And last but certainly not least, you need to be cleaning out your dryer vent. This is where all of your lint goes after you do a load. So if you're not cleaning this after every cycle, you can actually cause a house fire. If this helped you, let me know in the comments. I'll see you guys for the next one.
