A short low heat or air fluff cycle can help release wrinkles, especially if you add a slightly damp cloth.
Too much heat can shrink, fade, or wear clothes faster, so use the lowest setting that works.
Check care labels for delicate fabrics, athletic wear, wool, rayon, or items that say line dry only.
Dry clothes can be tumbled briefly, but heat is not harmless. Keep it short and gentle.
