HOW TO GET A LOT
FOR A NICKEL WITH
AN ELECTRIC DRYER
HELPFUL HINTS ON GETTING THE BEST USE OF YOUR ELECTRIC DRYER.
Electric clothes drying costs
only 5.* a load ... and what a
load of convenience you can
get tor that nickel.
For regular drying, save up a full load of
laundry to dry at one time, instead of fre-
quent smalt loads You II save money and
energy
Dry big items like
blankets or bedspreads
separately or in small
loads. Adding one or two
large fluffy towels will
help heavy materia! dry faster, use tess
electricity and save wear on fabrics.
Keeping the lint screen
on your dryer clean is
another way to save
electricity Built-up lint
adds to drying time because
it restricts the flow of air.
Load your dryer with just
enough clothing so things 0^
tumble freely. They’ll dry j
faster and come out fluffier
Take advantage of your
electric dryer's permanent press
cycle. It tumbles clothes with and with-
out heat, allowing fibers to return to
their original pressed-in shape
To prevent wrinkles, remove permanent
press, as well as most clothing,
the minute the dryer stops.

PRESS
