The trick so that clothes come out dry from the dryer
The fundamental trick to ensure that the clothes come out dry from the washing machine is to adjust the spin speed according to the type of fabric and the capacity of the machine. For delicate garments, select a lower speed, while for strong fabrics, opt for a higher speed.
It is also crucial not to overload the washing machine, as this makes the spinning process more difficult and will result in wetter clothes.
