High heat can destroy certain fabrics and damage your dryer. Always check care labels and when in doubt, air dry.
Never put these in the dryer:
- Bras and delicate underwear
- Wool and cashmere sweaters
- Swimwear and athletic wear with elastic
- Silk and satin
- Leather and suede
- Rubber-backed rugs
- Items with glitter or embellishments
- Down pillows (use low heat if unavoidable)
- Anything with “lay flat to dry” on the label
- Jeans (air dry to maintain fit)
- Anything stained with flammable liquids
