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.
