The Permanent Press setting on a dryer is designed to reduce wrinkles in clothing while drying without damaging fabrics that may shrink if exposed to high temperatures
. This setting is particularly useful for clothes made of synthetic fibers or those that have been specially treated to resist wrinkling
. The Permanent Press cycle works by combining a high-heat drying period with a low-heat drying period and then a cool-down period at the end
. Some key features of the Permanent Press setting include:
- Gentle agitation : The Permanent Press cycle uses gentler agitation compared to a normal or delicate cycle, making it suitable for clothes that are prone to wrinkling, color-fading, shrinking, and stretching
- Medium heat : The Permanent Press dryer cycle uses medium heat, which is gentler on clothes, reducing cost and increasing energy efficiency
- Versatility : The Permanent Press cycle can be used on a wide range of clothes, but it is not recommended as a substitute for a delicate wash. Always check the care label for drying instructions
To use the Permanent Press cycle, simply select it on your dryer and place your clothes inside. The dryer will handle the rest, ensuring that your clothes come out looking and feeling their best
