When tranferring clothes from the washer to the dryer do YOU shake out every little piece or do you just grab?
Answers:
I have never ever heard of shaking the clothing out first. I have always just grabbed them from the washer and threw them in the dryer. They dry just fine for me. Except the random half dry towels once in a while. (usually in a bigger load)
I used to take out all my t-shirts and hang them to dry, because they're all cheap and shrink...But I gave up on that and they're fine.
As for your cliant... You just have to do what they want. That's what you get payed for!

I shake them out, they dry better and also then I can remember to pick out any pieces I want to hang-dry.

Shake, because if you don't, there's more chance of wrinkles and uneven drying.
they do dry faster if you shake them out first
BUT ... with four kids i also just shove it in the dryer :)
Depends on what cycle you use. I use the perm. press and my clothes are always wrinkle free.
i just shove it all in. I dont think shaking them would make much of a difference since it will still just go in the dryer....it makes no sense to shake clothing..
I just grab them and shove them in. This is why things end up in the dryer that shouldn't. :(
I shake them out. They dry quicker and there are less wrinkles.
I shake out towels, pants and shirts....underclothes and socks I don't worry about so much. My mom always said that the clothes would wrinkle less and be fluffier. I don't know if that's true or not but it's hard to break the habits our mothers instill in us. :)
I always shake each piece. Also I pull select items from the dryer while still damp to 'pull out' wrinkles on an hanger for pieces I know tend to crease.
GRAB
i shake them out before i fold them, gets the wrinkles out
i grab and throw
I just grab and throw!
I just pull 'em out and toss 'em in.
Hey, I'm a Guy!
i used to just shove 'em in. but after i found a dead snake curled up in a towel that was kinda twisted, i shake out every piece.
true story, happened just a coulpe of wks ago.
I always shake them out...because I put a lot of clothes on the clothesline.
I shake out everything because it seems to dry nicer. There's less chance that a pair of undies is wrapped around something, or a sleeve is all balled up. It's so disappointing to take a shirt out of the dryer and the sleeve is all balled up and wet.
I stuff it all in as quick as possible--its the dryer's job to dry them & fluff the clothes up.
Elderly people think that they have to do this because they used to hang out their washing on clotheslines, and they wouldn't dry straight if not individually shaken out and pinned up. With dryers, you don't need to do that.
I shake out every little piece because if they are stuck together, some of the clothes might not be dry when it's ready to take them out. I used to just shove shocks into the washer even when they are not flipped and they end up not being clean.
Hey, I'm a guy, I just grab a handful and shove them in. I'm just happy they get clean.
My clothes have never seen an iron, and I think they are happy about that. They haven't complained about it anyway.
I usually, just give the dryer a heat spin, then pull the clothes out and shove on a hanger. Heck they almost smile at me, happy little buggers.
I grab and get them in the dryer any way I can.They tumble around so what effect would shaking do.the just end up jumbled up anyway.
Not so far as I know. I just grab. They get folded after I take 'em out.Sometimes.
I just grab them shove them in and hope for the best.
This reminds me of the ole Shake n Bake commercials. Since the clothes are tumbling anyway, how is shaking them out going to reduce wrinkles while they are baking? I agree that if you pull some out, like my trousers, while slightly damp and hang them they are less wrinkled. But shaking them out before wouldn't make any difference. The answer to your question is, no, I just stuff them in.
I just grab. If I'm especially worried about things being flat and pristine, I iron them.
If you shake each piece, it helps to dry more evenly.
Items are thicker at seams, pockets, collars and etc. and would not have to dry as long as when hurled into the dryer in a ball. Also there are less wrinkles in the garments.
I pull out stuff that has to hang dry, but other than that I just throw everything in. It doesn't make the least bit of sense to shake everything out so it'll 'dry straight'. The only way it's going to 'dry straight' is if you hang it up straight to dry! LOL And I don't see why it should make a difference for wrinkles, either, since the clothes are just going to be tumbled and thrown around in the dryer anyways. The only exception: the clothes that get stuck in big blankets and sheets. This stuff ends up so balled up in the little corners of fitted sheets that it doesn't get the air to dry and ends up very wrinkled. But mostly...let your dryer to your job.
P.S. They actually make combo washer/dryers now, where you put the clothes, soap, softener all in at the beginning, set wash cycle, set dry cycle, and the one machine does both the washing and the drying without you ever taking the clothes out. If it can do this all on it's own without you, why should you have to shake out your clothes?
I just grab and shove.I am not sure why what you mean by "dry straight". If that is the same as no wrinkles I have found that taking things out while they are still warm and hanging or folding does more to control wrinkles than anything else. Fabric softener added to the rinse relieves some wrinkles but it also softens the creases in perminent press.
Depends. I separate by function as well as color, so if it's just undies, t-shirts and "who cares how they look" stuff, I just throw. But otherwise I shake out. I also shake after they come out of the dryer. In addition I find that not only does the right amount of fabric softener take care of most of the wrinkle problem, but not letting them stay in the wash too long also helps.
