Tips

• Cheaper dryer sheets may require you use more to get the same effect as a name brand like "bounce" sheets.
• Be careful when cleaning new clothes as they may transfer color in hot water.
• Wash severely stained or oily clothes separately, one oil soaked shirt can make 20 brown socks >< .
• Make sure you clean your dryer's lint trap before and after you do a load of laundry.
• Save wear on your clothes and discourage lint by turning your clothes inside-out before washing them. This not only keeps some lint away, but also keeps colored clothes from fading so quickly.

Warnings
