**** i might habe to do that, like.hang dry the **** or lay clothes out on a towel or tumble dry with no heat in the dryer (but with no heat then it probably doesn't dry better than hang air dry).

Tune and CAI are the best bang for the buck.
Tune your washer with a 91 or 93 octane race tune.
Install a CAI on your dryer.
You'll be fine.

I hear that turbonators do wonders for washer/dryer combos as well, is that true?

Material is 60% cotton 40% acrylic...maybe acrylic is just tougher to not shrink? Cotton couldn't care less. Of course a faster dryer with no heat should dry the stuff quickly. Headers.
