### Additional Tips for Wrinkle-Free Clothes
1. **Don’t Overload the Dryer**
* Giving your clothes room to move around in the dryer allows them to dry more evenly and reduces the chance of wrinkles. Overloading the dryer crams everything in, causing clothes to wrinkle as they’re compressed.
2. **Remove Clothes Promptly**
* As soon as the dryer cycle ends, take your clothes out! Leaving them sitting in the dryer allows wrinkles to set in. Take them out while they’re still slightly damp if possible, and hang or fold them right away.
3. **Use Dryer Balls**
* Add a couple of wool dryer balls to your load to help tumble clothes more effectively. These balls bounce around in the dryer, keeping fabrics separated, which helps reduce wrinkles.
4. **Use the Right Drying Temperature**
* For fabrics prone to wrinkling, such as cotton, linen, and certain synthetics, avoid using the high heat setting. Too much heat can cause fabrics to shrink or wrinkle even more.

5. **Shake and Smooth Before Drying**
* After taking clothes out of the washing machine, give them a good shake to release as many wrinkles as possible. Smooth them out gently before placing them in the dryer.

### What About Delicates?
If you have delicate fabrics like silk or wool, the Wrinkle-Free cycle might be too harsh. Opt for the **Delicates** or **Air Dry** cycle instead. These cycles use cool air or lower heat to gently dry your clothes, reducing the risk of damage and wrinkles.

### What to Do if You Don’t Have a Wrinkle-Free Cycle
No worries if your dryer doesn’t have a specific “Wrinkle-Free” or “Permanent Press” option. Here’s what you can do:
* Use the **Low Heat** setting and add a **cool-down** phase (manually) at the end of the cycle.
* If your dryer has an **Air Fluff** or **Tumble Dry** option, you can also use that to dry clothes with little to no heat.
* Consider hanging clothes up immediately to let gravity help smooth out the wrinkles.
