Mistake #1: Using a fabric softener or dryer sheets
Traditional fabric softeners can leave a film over your clothes, especially synthetics. Like dryer sheets, they were made for older fabrics, not the synthetics so many people wear today. Fabric softener residue can help lead to a lingering stink in the fabrics of towels and workout clothes; So skip the softener to avoid this problem!
Mistake #2: You’re over filling the dryer – and using high heat
Adding too many clothes to the dryer can add to dry time, and cranking up the heat to get everything dry can damage certain fabrics. (It can also shrink some items.) Try air-drying workout clothes, and keep the heat on medium or low for the items that do go into the dryer. If it comes down to it, run two loads in the dryer, instead of one giant load.
