Size Bedsheet Fitted
A look at what is currently available on eBay
How do I keep my wet sheets and towels from balling up into my fitted sheets in the dryer?
I just recently bought queen sized sheets for my new mattress. Before, I was always able, with the full-sized sheets, to wash the sheets and towels together with no problem. With the new sheets, however, when I launder sheets and towels, one or 2 of the towels ball up into the fitted sheet. I wash 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, a bath mat, plus a fitted sheet, a regular sheet, and 2 pillow cases together (and sometimes the pajamas go in with them)
Never a problem before, but lately I end up having to redo the dryer time b/c one of the towels got balled up into the fitted sheet, and thus the sensor couldn't tell that it wasn;t dry, so the dryer cycle stopped naturally. This happens every time.
TOnite, I just did the sheets and pajamas, and it still happened with the bedsheet getting balled up into the fitted sheet. I put them into the dryer separately. How do I stop this?
Mike is correct never wash lint givers like towels and bath mats with things that dry faster and have smooth finishes. You will end up getting pills...always wash towels separately.
As far as the sheets they can go in with light weight clothing. Periodically take them out of the dryer and give them a shake if they are getting tangled. The newer sheets with the deeper pockets and full elastic are notorious for that. Better yet get 2 sets and hang them to dry, they dry really fast. On a breezy day outdoors it takes 20 minutes to dry them. Indoors maybe 1/2 a day.
