LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.

LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract
lint. These must be dried separately.

How to Load Your Dryer

For best results, dry only articles of the same or similar type fabric in a single
load. Never overload the dryer. The drum should be no more than 1/2 full of
wet articles. Overloading prolongs drying time and produces uneven drying.
