I know mine has a setting that has low/no heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lay-flat-to-drystiff-and-crunchy#post-2854035 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:52:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2854035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try putting them (dry) in the dryer for a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lay-flat-to-drystiff-and-crunchy#post-2854033 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:44:10 +0000 MrsSCB 2854033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: same! I assume maybe because they don't have the warmth or tumbling action while drying, but they do soften up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lay-flat-to-drystiff-and-crunchy#post-2854031 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:25:21 +0000 Lahela017 2854031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I air dry almost all of my clothes on a rack. They are stiff when you first put them on, but after a few minutes of wear, they soften up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lay-flat-to-drystiff-and-crunchy#post-2854022 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 14:29:59 +0000 Hypatia 2854022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some sweaters I bought that were so soft off the rack. The instructions say lay flat to dry. Well, now they are stiff and kind of crunchy feeling. Almost itchy. </p> <p>What can I do? I don’t usually use fabric softener in the wash, is that what I need? Maybe put them in the dryer a short amount of time? Something else?</p> <p>He sweaters are a cotton poly blend, if it matters. </p>
