Clothes Dryer Efficiency

Proper Loading~Ensure your dryer is not overloaded.  Air needs to circulate easily between the clothes in order for drying to be most effective.

Venting
~Open a window when using the dryer.  A closed up laudry gets very humid and that humid air just gets sucked into the dryer; decreasing its effectiveness.  If your dtyer has an exhaust leading to the outside; ensure that it’s cleaned regularly.

Lint
~A clogged lint filter can extend the drying time (and therefore boost energy use) by a massive 30%!  Additionally, a build up of lint is a fire hazard.
