load of light synthetics

The amount of moisture in the iood

Towels hold a lot of moisture, synthetics

don’t. Synthetics dry faster.

Temperature of the rinse woter Cold

rinses help save on energy and wrinkles,

but a cold load WIII take sltghtly longer

to dry than a warm one

Amount of //nt on the screen A full lint

screen slows the air flow and can make
