How can I stop washing tangling into a ball in my tumble dryer?

Question

Is there any way of keeping washing separate when it is drying in a tumble dryer? It always seems to form into a big ball and is difficult to detangle.

Answer 1

I've never had a problem with clothes forming into a ball.  I take things out of the washer one at a time and give them a quick shake, then throw them into the dryer.

Answer 2

don't overload the machine...give your stuff room to tumble

Answer 3

A couple ways.Seperate them before you load the clothes.The best thing is a dryer ball.It will not only help with this but it helps your clothes dry better and faster.It will save energy and cash.

dryer balls. they seperate your washing and make it easier to iron.

Answer 5

have you tried putting a tennis ball in with your wash. it saves having to buy one of the dryer balls and i assume they are the same sort of thing.

Answer 6

Mine doesn't.  does yours reverse   it's tumble direction   . Also dont pack it too full,   Tumblers only take about half a washing machine load.  Also you can put things like socks etc in a separate bag    

Answer 7

I find if you separate them when removing from the washing machine helps. I also try to keep things like socks or terry dish clothes that can stick to things in on their own.

Don't overload it so they all have room to move around.  

Answer 8

stick a couple of tennis balls in loads that tend to ball up
