> >
> >
> > The heating unit went out on my dryer!

> > us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to
> > the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I
> > always clean the lint from the filter after every load
> > clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he
> > took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The
> > lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know
> > what your dryer's lint filter looks like. WELL...the hot
> > water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it
> > at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that
> > mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE
> > the film , but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets
> > to make your clothes soft and static free - that nice
> > fragrance too, you know how they can feel
> >
> >
> > waxy when you take them out of the
> > box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your
> > lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch
> > fire & potentially burn your house down with it! He said the
> > best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (&
> > to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out
> > & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other
> > brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the
> > life of the dryer at least twice as long!
> >
> >
> > How about that!?! Learn something new
> > everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do
> > that. So , I thought I'd share!
> >
> >
> > Note: I went to my dryer & tested my
> > screen by running water on it. The water ran through a
> > little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh
> > screen. I washed it with warm soapy water & a nylon brush & I
> > had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water
> > ran right Thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all!
> > That repairman knew what he was talking about!
 
For develed eggs, lay the carton on it's side the night before and the yokes will all be centered within the egg by morning.
