“I curious about the wrinkles after the rinse / spin. We had a old style washer, tried a top loading energy efficient washer and the wrinkles are horrible. I like that the spin cycle creates less dry time but not the cost of wrinkled cloths. Thanks”

CuriousfromGR, wrinkling is caused by the combination of heat and pressure. If permanent press fabrics are rinsed in warm water, the spin portion of the cycle applies pressure to the warm fabrics and causes wrinkling. If the same permanent press fabrics are rinsed in cold water, one element of the heat/pressure combination is removed and wrinkling is less. Remove the clothing from the dryer as soon as possible to stop wrinkles from setting in. Fabrics made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen have greater tendency to wrinkle during normal wear and laundering, and ironing is usually needed for these fabrics. Use a Permanent Press cycle, especially if washing in hot water as Permanent Press cycles are designed to minimize wrinkles. Load washer loosely with dry, unfolded clothes up to the top row of holes in a top loading washer. For a front load washer, do not pack the tub tightly. The tub can, however, be packed completely full. Too many items will prevent free circulation in the washer and will cause wrinkling. Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items such as work clothes and heavy pants or jackets with lighter permanent press items such as shirts or blouses, as the weight of the heavier items can press wrinkles into the other items in the load. Use a fabric softener to make fabrics smooth. Avoid using the fastest spin to avoid setting in wrinkles. The extended length of time at high spin speed may cause wrinkles to form. Always use the Permanent Press cycle. This cycle provides a longer cool-down period to cool the fabrics before they stop tumbling. Use the proper temperature and dryness setting and avoid over drying as excess heat can result in wrinkled fabrics. Dry only a single washer load as this will overload the dryer and result in uneven drying and wrinkling. If only one or two items are being dried, add a few similar items to ensure proper tumbling. If an item has heat-set wrinkles from laundering, it will need to be ironed to restore a smooth surface. If all the recommendations are followed and wrinkling still occurs, it is possible the permanent press or wrinkle release finish on the fabric has deteriorated due to normal wear and ironing will be necessary.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have found just putting in dryer on light heat or fluff helps with the wrinkles, some blouses and dress clothes I fluff and then hang to dry
