    To deal with wrinkles when you're short on time, try using a rapid wrinkle release spray made from equal parts of distilled water and vinegar. Laundry detergent brands like Downy and Tide also have wrinkle-removing sprays available.

    Community Answer
    Usually, it tumbles the contents every three minutes or so until you open the door. This way, hot clothes aren't weighing down on one another for as long.

    The problem may not be with the hot water. Make sure you're using fabric softener and try doing a small load of laundry.

    My dryer has a "high heat" cycle at the end. Is this for wrinkle prevention?
    Community Answer
    It is not for wrinkle prevention, although it does dry your clothes at a faster rate. Be sure that any garments you attempt to dry on high heat are capable of withstanding it; the clothing tag will tell you.

    I have noticed some color fading in my clothes when they come out of the wash. What should I do?

    Colors in clothing usually fade due to the water being too hot or because of harsh detergents. Set your water temperature to warm or cold (depending on the type of fabric), and maybe try changing your detergent to see if that makes a difference.

    Wash your sheets completely separate from other pieces of laundry. Make sure your sheets are untangled before putting them in the washer. Try using warm or hot water (depending on the instructions on your specific sheets) to help get rid of wrinkles.
