Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

#21 Who has clothes today that are prone to wrinkling?

Me! I do!
And it’s annoying for someone like me who hates to iron.
It’s taken me a long time to figure out settings to reduce wrinkles.
And you’ll never guess where the issues are.
On my cottons!
My cotton work shirts and polos has serious wrinkling issues where the bottom hems, sleeve edges, and collars take on weird, HARD creases.
Past washers with cool downs would help. They also aided in rinsing dark colors better.
But the real secret I’ve found, even better than the PP or steam cycles on my dryers, is to Damp Dry these items.
I then reform the collars and sleeves, and let them hang dry.
With damp dry and the residual heat, they’re usually all dry several hours later.
 
A Vice Cycle, Kept by Habit!

They've been on washers for decades, a vital setting along with Regular Fabrics to this day--even Delicates, associated with Slow Speeds are only seen on TWO-SPEED machines, with that PP, on your basic one-speed, and Perm. Press, II never ever even use...
