Tips

• Choose fragrance-free products in your dryer (and washer). If scented products are used, those who are allergic or have asthma may be made ill not when the encounter your clothing but by the exhaust in the air. Should you or anyone in your family become allergic or asthmatic in the future (these are aquired conditions), synthetic laundry fragrances are extremely difficult or impossible to remove, both from your clothing, your laundry and your home itself.
• Do not use fabric softeners. In addition to being very difficult to remove, they will cause towels not to be absorbant, and "technical" clothing such as Gore-Tex may lose the "waterproof yet breathable" qualities you desire and paid good money for.
• If possible, hang clothes outdoors to dry.
• If you have radiator heat, drying your clothing on or above them saves energy, puts needed moisture in the air, and really freshens clothing.
• Use phosphate-free soaps/detergents in order to improve the health of our ecosystem.
