South Beach Diet - Improve Your Dryer Performance!

I got this from a friend this morning and checked it out. She's right! If you use dryer sheets, you may want to check this out.

Thought you might want to try this......

I had a wonderful morning, the heating unit went out of my dryer! Why does everything seem to fall apart this time of year!???

The guy that fixes things went in to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. We always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes. He told us that he wanted to show us something. He took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. Now, this thing is like a mesh - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like -

WELL......the hot water just lay on top of the mesh!!! It didn't go through it at all!!!

He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh and that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there.

He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least 3/4 times a year.

He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that???!!!!

Oh, crap! I don't have time to do that! :lol3:
Good hint, Ruth. Although I was really hoping for a joke.

I'll see what I can do later. I should have mentioned "Not a **Snork** in the title.
AND I can't see your tracker. Is your nose growing longer?

Can see it now. System problems, I guess.

Wow, thanks!

Glad I use liquid fabric softner. Good tip! Thanks Eloise I mean Ruth! lol

Thanks for the little tit bit Ruthie, Gee!!. I clean out the filter after every wash,but :eek: I never would have thought of that. Can't understand why my service man never told me:shrug: before,as I have Sears Contract to check the machines out every year. Thanks again Hugs :) BB

Hey BB maybe he don't know and you could tell him! teehee One up on the service man! lol
