5. Shirts that say 'tumble dry low' or 'delicate'.
I was told to wash and immediately put into the dryer to help reduce wrinkles...

6. Yeah, delicates is the low setting
My dryer has both "low" and "delicates". Delicates is the lower of the two.

across your shower curtain bar. do NOT put them in the dryer. they will dry quickly and no wrinkles and you have not wasted energy:)

8. That's what I used to do. I was told to try it this one time...
which was like 2 years ago, but I thought I'd finally try it.

Like I said, I haven't used a dryer in 20 years. Literally. Won't ever again - they are needlessly expensive, but even the iron couldn't get those wrinkles out.

10. Generally, man-made fibers
like nylon, spandex, rayon, etc. go on the "delicate" setting. Ditto fine fibers like silk, even if it does wear like iron. :-)
