6 Things You're Doing Entirely Wrong With Your Washer and Dryer

Want to remove smells and oils from your clothes? Then do more warm or hot water washing. Cold water washings aren't as adept at removing body oils, detergents and smells from clothes. If you prefer cold water washings, it's advantageous to run things through a warm cycle every third or fourth load. 

In order for items to dry faster, you need to untangle your clothes and add each item into the dryer separately. It's important to remember not to fill up the drum more than three-quarters of the way for normal loads and halfway for permanent press ones. If you try to dry a boulder-size wad of wet clothing, or if you overcrowd the dryer, the process will slow down. If the drying process is slowed down, chances are your clothes will wrinkle.
