1. Bathing suits. Anything Spandex will start to break down and lose it’s elasticity as a result of the high heat.
2. Bras. They’re too delicate–plus, the heat will cause them to lose their shape.
3. Rubber-backed bath mats. The rubber that provides extra grip in the bathroom can actually fall apart in the dryer and potentially cause a fire.
4. Tights. Even if you only put them in for five minutes, you risk tangling, knotting and runs galore. Hang them to dry next to a heater instead.
5. Anything with bling. That striped shirt with the faux crystal beads around the neckline? Don’t do it unless you want to risk melting the baubles.
6. Uggs. It’s tempting, but the sheepskin will shrink in the dryer’s high heat. Stick them in a sunny spot and wait it out.
