I use hot water to wash dishes and also to wash our sheets and towels. To
kill germs and allergens.

Valerie in Tacoma
Here's a question I've always had in my mind:

If the sheets are washed in cold water, won't the heat of the dryer kill the allergens? Because of mold pollen, exhaust and dust allergies, we do not hang items to dry - in case we are headed for a thread about dryers and electricity :-).

I have a friend that is "allergic to life" as she puts it. She hangs
everything outside and then just runs them in the dryer for about 10
minutes. She says that gets rid of all the pollen and other junk and keep
her energy bill down. But, she said if you don't pull the front/back/side
(whichever type dryer you have) off and vacuum out the dryer and that exit
hose thingy about every 3 months, you are defeating the whole purpose of
using the dryer. At that point she started to tell me about all the gross
things that grow in the dryer and don't die because all of the dryer doesn't
get hot enough to kill them and I suddenly decided I had something else to
do <g>

I decided that if I have to worry about whom or what is living in my dryer
then I might as well live in one of those bubbles!

good question annette. I never thought of that and I am allergic to mold and dust. I do wash the darks in cold water, but the whites and sheets always in hot. I'm not sure why...maybe to get the dirt out since cold water doesn't get the dirt out of whites at all even with bleach.

LOL! Ok how does one take off the door in the dryer to vacuum it out? My dryer has been giving me fits! it won't dry a cycle in one go anymore, you have to do it in two cycles now in order to dry a regular load...grrrr. I have religiously cleaned out the lint filter and have tried to vacuum down the lint filter with the vacuum hose which wont fit in there of course....but I admit I'm clueless about all this and the landlord is calling in an appliance technician to take a look at it...I don't own the dryer, its provided as part of the apartment.

Does your friend live in a swamp?

Because in New Mexico there is *nothing* living in or on a dryer. Vaccuming
will keep dust/lint down, but then again just about nothing will save us from
dust here.

When we're talking physical properties of appliances, sometimes specifying
conditions or geographical region is important.

Vacuuming the dryer probably won't help. It sounds as if your heating coil
is going out.

Vaughnde, One area that lint collects and blocks is the hose. You can clean it out with a special device, or simply replace it. Any manuals that came with your dryer should have diagrams for taking it apart - for those that do their own repairs or parts replacing.

OMG, that is how houses catch on fire. Lint builds up inside the dryer
between the walls and the drum!

Alrighty, you will need a screw driver. If you look around the edge where
the top meets the walls you will see where little clips go from the top into
the walls. You need to push on the clips and then lift the top. Vacuum all
around the drum. Then you need to take off the back panel (they are usually
put on with phillips screws) and vacuum around in there. Also, take off the
vent hose and vacuum up in the exhaust with that extension thingy for your
vacuum cleaner.

Some dryers the fronts come off and some you can tilt over backwards and
take the bottom off.

At anyrate, they get clogged up and they do start fires. And, your lint
filters don't work so well when the rest of the machine is clogged. All you
are doing is recycling the same lint around and around.

> LOL! Ok how does one take off the door in the dryer to vacuum it out? My
dryer has been giving me fits! it won't dry a cycle in one go anymore, you
have to do it in two cycles now in order to dry a regular load...grrrr. I
have religiously cleaned out the lint filter and have tried to vacuum down
the lint filter with the vacuum hose which wont fit in there of
course....but I admit I'm clueless about all this and the landlord is
calling in an appliance technician to take a look at it...I don't own the
dryer, its provided as part of the apartment.

> good question annette. I never thought of that and I am allergic to mold
and dust. I do wash the darks in cold water, but the whites and sheets always
in hot. I'm not sure why...maybe to get the dirt out since cold water doesn't get
the dirt out of whites at all even with bleach.

I have taken two dirty socks, washed one in cold and one in hot,
and they both come out looking the same. As for bleach......yuck,
we wouldn't have it in our house. It's too dangerous, and it doesn't
get our whites any whiter.

Well, as the kidlets say, I'm grinning and LAYNWY <g> Welcome back, a
certain kind of silence following my posts was deafening <g>

Nope, not a swamp. At least the last time I was in Safford, AZ it wasn't
any different than being in NM.

Now, since NM is getting cooler and wetter (humidity has increased in some
areas by 20% over the last century), I'm guessing that maybe that dry, arid,
desolate, dusty and dirty part of the U.S. may be growing just as many
micro-bugs as any swamp. Particularly when NM already has lots of lovely
"bugs" growing there since rodent born diseases are quite prevalent. Ya
know, charming things like hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. And your Lung
Association warns about Valley Fever and some nasty asthma problems
associated with NM's cockroach infestation.

Also, NM does have bosque riparian forests and wetlands which swamp loving
bugs just adore.

And, generally speaking (we'll leave out Antarctica and the North Pole) the
math remains the same for most geographic locations, 1 (dryer) + 1 (wet
clothes) = 2 (humidity) with the extension of said math being 1 (dryer) + 1
(lack of regular lint removal) + 1 (humidity) = 3 (pockets of damp lint that
some bacteria and allergins just happen to love).

So, your *opinion* that "nothing" is growing on or in a dryer residing in NM
is hardly based in fact. Facts are, dust mites and many other "bugs" are
alive and well in NM.
