-
Use the moisture sensor option on your dryer. It automatically shuts off the
machine when the clothes are dry.
-
Group similar types of fabrics together before drying them. For example, put towels
together in one load. A lower dryer temperature may be used for certain clothes.
See the owner's manual from the dryer for more information.
- Be sure to clean the lint from the dryer's filter after
every load. The efficiency of the dryer goes down when lint collects over the dryer
filter.
- Operate the dryer like the washer: don't overload it. Overloading uses excess energy
because the items take longer to dry.
- Using your clothes dryer during off-peak hours will save money if you subscribe
to a residential time-of-use rate. See your local electric utility for details.
