Most importantly, Liz said you shouldn’t overload your machine.
‘Everything should be kept loose and free to move,’ she wrote.
This might mean drying your sheets, covers, pillowcases and towels separately, as otherwise the dryer won’t work properly.
The stylist also said you can throw a couple of tennis balls into the dryer too, which will assist the process in reducing wrinkles and fluffing towels (pictured)

‘Besides reducing wrinkles and fluffing towels, tennis balls allow air to circulate in the dryer,’ Liz said.
‘They also speed up the drying time while helping to separate folds and twists in the fabric.’
Hundreds who saw the clip said they had never heard the advice before and would be sure to try it at home.
‘Wow, I’ll definitely be giving this a go – this is life-changing,’ one commenter wrote.
‘Get out – that’s wild,’ another added.

Previously, Liz has shared a number of videos demonstrating her household tips and tricks.
Recently, she shared how you can make your old throw blankets look fluffy and new again, using a homemade solution of bicarb soda, vinegar and detergent.
To try her trick for yourself, simply gather up all of your blankets to wash together separately from any other items.
Then, add half a cup of bicarb soda to the washing machine and half of your regular detergent into the detergent drawer.
Following this, put half a cup of vinegar in the drawer and wash the blankets on a ‘gentle cycle in warm water’.
‘They’ll be so fluffy again!’ Liz said.
‘I use it for sheets and towels too, and it really freshens them up.’
