Tips & Warnings
If you don't have a dryer, hang clothes outside on a line to dry. Use clothespins to keep clothes from falling off, and remove when clothes are dry. This works best on warm sunny days.
Underwear, panty hose and bathing suits can be hung over a towel rack or shower curtain rod to dry. You may wish to place a towel over the rack first.
Some clothes may shrink in the dryer, especially on high heat settings. Always check labels for drying instructions before putting clothes in the dryer.

If you left the clothes in the dryer too long and they have wrinkles, just throw a damp hand towel in the dryer and start the dryer again until the hand towel is dry. This has worked every time for me.

In between washing and drying, if it's possible, hang the clothes out to dry a little. Get some of the moisture out, then dry. It'll help the clothes to not shrink in the dryer. It takes time, but will save you money in the long run.
