what is perm press in dryer

The permanent press cycle on a dryer is a setting that uses medium heat to dry clothes, which is gentler on clothes and reduces the chance of wrinkles forming and setting. Depending on the brand and model, some permanent press dryer cycles may include a cool down period, which helps to gradually transition clothes from a warm temperature to cool temperature, since clothes that are dried at high temperatures and then folded tend to retain creasing. The permanent press cycle is designed to minimize wrinkles, fading, shrinking, and pilling of certain synthetic materials. Permanent press clothes are often made of synthetic fibers such as polyester or specially treated to guard against wrinkles. Clothes that are prone to wrinkling, color-fading, shrinking, and stretching should be dried using the permanent press cycle.
