Heating up the large drum in your dryer requires a lot of energy. Rather than doing your laundry divided into several days, do it all in one day and back to back. Because of our work schedules, it is easier for me to do our laundry on the weekends.
Whatever day I choose based on other activities planned, I plan to spend half my day doing all my laundry. Since the dryer usually takes a little longer than the washing machine washes, I am ready to dry clothes (or linens) as soon as the dryer beeps.
Cycling the clothes to dry as soon as the dryer is finished means that the dryer is not going to have to work as hard just to heat up.
