All you need is an ice cube and dryer sheet. Put them in the dryer, and you'll steam and freshen your clothes in just 10 minutes.

Tip 2: The towel trick

When you're pressed for time, throw a dry towel in the dryer with your load of wet laundry for about 15 to 20 minutes. It dries clothes faster.

Everyone hates the sound of noisy shoes in the dryer, right?

Simply take the laces and close them in the door latch. That takes away all the noise!


Tip 4: The aluminum foil trick

For fluffy towels, toss a balled-up sheet of tin foil in the dryer. It also reduces the static electricity and can be re-used for a month!
