So what if my laundry is acting like a big HEPA filter, it is saving me money and I get that "great" outdoor scent indoors.
Why it's important to keep that dryer vent clean!

I also like to hang clothes outside it puts a fresh smell in them espically bed sheets and pillow cases. So don't feel alone, and this is a big savings on electric and gas or propane bills. Oh BTW. My dryer is a Maytag Neptune and we don't have any problem using dryer sheets as our lint screen is a woven mesh. A friend of our bought a new Whirlpool and the dryer had a metal mesh screen and it is a pretty tight mesh and the wax from the dryer sheets will build up in time and not let air to flow through the screen. If this happens or before it happens wash the lint screen with a dishwashing or liquid laundry detergent and this should take care of the problem. But you will need to wash it from time to time if you use dryer sheets. But like I said in another thread if you get caught using dryer sheets in a new Whirlpool or one of their products you void the warrenty. Whirlpool will not replace or fix the dryer.

That's interesting. Whirlpool used to include a sample package of dryer sheets in their new machines. Apparently they don't do that any more?

If they're including the dryer sheets with the machine, they can't void the warranty if you use 'em. That would be a huge lawsuit on grounds of consumer fraud, i.e. the allegation that WP was deliberately trying to trick people into voiding their warranties. Though what's really going on would have been the result of lack of communications between the manufacturing dept and the marketing dept. Chances are if this ever happened, some WP dealer would spot it immediately and raise holy hell with WP over it, and that would get it stopped in its tracks.

HA! What goes around comes around.
When first introduced, dryer sheets were NOT recommened by machine mannies.
Then they changed their tune to say, well maybe if your vent is not plastic.
And here we go again back to their orginal thought!

Just a few thoughts. I quit using dryer sheets about a year ago because of the stains I kept finding on my clothes. My washer broke down so I was sending my laundry over to a relative who was willing to do it for me til I got mine fixed. The clothes were comming back smelling great, from a smokers home noless.her product? Good Old Fashioned Downy...wowo I had forgotten how great the smell was. Never again will this laundry room see any kind of dryer sheets.....
Now about the whole leaving appliances plugged in. I am not going to go about worrying about this. As it is I have to make a trip back to the house half the the time to retrieve the stupid cell phone. Im not going to start second trips to go back and unplug everything.
But one item that has come to my concern is that big screen TV. It never even occured to me that that sucker is pulling in electricty even while it was off much less doing weird things with it while Im gone. Thanks guys Ill be up all night getting this figured out...lol. Its just too big to move from the wall everytime and unplugg it, so I got an idea.....anyone know where I can get a gas big screen tv?!!!!
