Drying sheets

Do you do anything special to keep them all from twisting and wadding up into the fitted sheet and not really getting dry?  Seems like I have to untangle them everytime and put them back in for another cycle.  Any tricks I don't know about?

Re: Drying sheets

  • Martha Stewart says you should wash and dry each sheet individually. My mom follows this--and then irons them a bit--but I think it's a waste of water. I suppose you could still dry them separately.

    It would take me four days to wash bedding at my house!

    No advice from me.  I just stop them halfway through the cycle, untangle them and put them back in to finish.

  • I dry everything (clothes, towels, bedding etc) on the low heat auto-dry cycle. If I remember I stop it partway through and untangle them, but usually I forget. They're generally in a big ball, but always dry when the dryer stops.

  • Martha Stewart has lost her mind. :-)

    No tips...I just untangle and dry some more.

  • dry them outside on a clothes line? Stick out tongue

  • Don't have a dryer at your house and take them up to the laundromat to the commercial huge dryers.  Works for me! Surprise

    When I did have a functional dryer, though, I would just stop them mid way through and untangle/shake them out.

  • I agree with most pp's...I just untangle half way through the cycle or if I forget, I untangle and put them drying for a little longer.

  • in all fairness, I think martha may have been referring only to king sized sheets. I wouldn't wash all my twin bedding seperately!

  • My dryer has a signal that tells you when most things are dry, but not all.  It will run for another 15-20 minutes thoroughly drying everything.  I take that first signal, pull out all the dry stuff, untangle the fitted sheets and stick them back in with anything else that is damp, and fold and put away what was already dry from the load while the rest are drying.
