It’s one of the easiest laundry tips you’ll ever hear — and it can make a big difference in how your clothes come out of the dryer. Before tossing your laundry in, take a few seconds to shake each item out.
This small step helps prevent wrinkles, speeds up drying time, and gives your laundry a fresher finish. At Willard Wash Laundromat, our large-capacity dryers are designed for efficiency, but even here, a quick shake makes every load better.
Reduces Wrinkles
Clothes that go straight from the washer into the dryer often come out tangled or bunched up. Shaking them out helps smooth wrinkles before they set in.
Faster Drying Times
When clothes are balled up, air can’t circulate properly. Giving them a shake opens up the fabric so the dryer can do its job more efficiently.
Less Tangling
Items like sheets and towels love to twist into knots in the dryer. Shaking them first helps keep everything separate, so they dry more evenly.
Shaking out clothes only takes a few extra seconds, but it can save you from extra ironing, shorten drying times, and keep your laundry looking fresh.
At Willard Wash, we always encourage customers to use little tricks like this to get the most out of every load. And with our large-capacity dryers, you’ll have all the space you need for clothes to tumble freely and dry perfectly.
The bottom line: Shake it out before you dry. It’s a small step with big results for fresher, faster, and wrinkle-free laundry.
