Hi! My name is Leslie Moselle and I am from Tampa, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village, this is how to do laundry. Now we've washed our whites, so now it is time to dry them. For your white clothing, you don't really have to take too much into consideration when drying them. What you want to think about is how heavy they are. White clothing tends to be a little bit lighter so it won't take as much energy to dry them. So the settings you want to choose are the automatic dry with low heat or the timed drying with high heat. Now if you think it is going to take a little longer or little more heat, what you can do if it is a smaller load, you can set your dryer to high heat like for 20 to 25 minutes and then come back and check on it to see if it is dry. If not, you could put very dry on low heat. That will just take a little more care for your clothes. It won't apply too much heat to them so it won't get to many fuzzes and will protect your clothes a little bit better. But for white clothing, it is pretty basic when it comes to the drying settings. You can add in your fabric softener sheets in there if you didn't put the liquid softener in with the wash but for our whites basically, you just want to remember the size of the load and the type of the clothes.
