How to Dry Delicates When Doing Laundry

"Hi! My name is Leslie Moselle and I am from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village, this is how to do laundry. Delicate clothes are probably the most important thing to be careful with when drying. There are two options for drying your delicate clothes. The option that I like to choose is hang dry them. This may take a little bit longer but this is going to make your clothes look as good as they can and last a lot longer. So once you've taken your time to put the right setting, the right detergent and the right temperature of water for your delicate clothes and once they are out of the washer and the washer is done, you can go ahead and take them directly out and hang them. This will probably take overnight to dry depending on how heavy the material is but this will make your clothes look great for a long time, your colors won't fade much from drying and even if they are cotton or silk, you know it really doesn't matter right out of the washer, you can just hang them here or hang them in a doorway and this goes for both lights and delicate clothes. And whatever knits and silks you feel you don't want to get damaged as soon as they are out of the washer, you can go ahead and hang them up and let them air dry. Now the other option that you can have for drying your delicates is if you don't want to wait that long and you don't have the time to let them air dry, there is fluff air on your dryer cycle. Now some dryers will say delicates on the dryer itself and that will be a setting available to you. But on this one, you have fluff air. This will prevent from having a high heat or too much heat applied to your delicate clothes. It might take a little bit longer than a normal dryer cycle but this is faster than air drying and it is also protects your delicates from any damage. "
