Clothes tag that say flat dry.. do you dry in clothes dryer?

I would lie them flat to dry.

I don’t put any of my clothes in the dryer.

Generally I don’t but in my old house I could have as my dryer had a shelf and it could run with no heat & just circulate air to dry the item.

My drawer at my apartment does not have a shelf. I don’t really miss it as I used it maybe once a year.

Well, listen, I dry everything.  Air-dried clothes feel stiff to me, and sometimes they still feel wet no matter how long they've been out of the washer. 

I suspect that the "lay flat to dry" clothes are ones that are prone to shrinkage or wrinkles or both.

Drying clothes for too long can cause cotton fibers to "bloom" which may appear as though you've got white fibers on your dark clothes.  That bugs me more than anything, but not enough to hang my clothes to dry.

I’ll put it in the dryer for like 10 minutes, on low heat, then lay it out.

All blends are NOT created equal. The more polyester the more likely it is to pill. But short fiber cotton can also pill although it is more apt to shrink instead. So you can have two shirts with the same blend but still not get equal results out of them because the type of cotton (fiber lengths from the boll) are different.

I am a care label reader. If I have to lay flat to dry it stays in the store. Since you already bought it, if it is something I expect to be worn for more than one season I'd follow the care label. If it is something you don't care if it gets worn for more than one season, I'd toss in the dryer.

I think tumble drying us not a universal thing. Certainly in Europe most people peg their clothes out to dry or use a rack inside. Tumble dryers are seen as expensive to run and while a lot of people own them , they are not used constantly

I put them in the dryer on low.

I will put DH & DS clothing through the dryer, and some of mine.  I do hang most of my clothing to dry, though. I bought a spring loaded shower rod and will put it up in the shower, then put my clothes on hangers and hang on the rod to dry. In the morning, put the clothes away and the shower rod comes down--very easy and takes virtually no space.

Omg, I can’t imagine not tumble drying anything. I feel clothes are generally softer out of the dryer. There’s nothing like grabbing a warm towel out of the dryer right before a shower or putting on a soft warm t-shirt freshly dried when you’re chilly.

I do generally air dry most of my tops though that aren’t t-shirts or sweatshirts. I think they last a little longer that way and aren’t as likely to shrink or pill. Pretty much everything else goes in the dryer. Doing laundry is a hassle enough without trying to air dry everything.

I don't put ANYTHING in the dryer that says lay flat, hang dry or air dry. Ever. And, I hang dry a lot of things that I think won't hold up well in the dryer (and then sometimes will toss those in for 5 minutes or so). All of my Athleta & Fabletics workout pieces are hang dried, even though they could go in the dryer. All bras are hang dry.

I have a tiny laundry room, so it's a pain in the ass, but I figure it out because otherwise my clothes would be ruined and unwearable.

I don't have many clothes that can't go in the dryer and I honestly hate the feel of air dried clothes on my skin. The few things I have that bed it just get hung on hangers right out of the washer.

Yes - if it says dry flat, then I do not put it in the dryer. Having accidentally shrunk a few items of clothing, I learned my lesson. I pretty much hang all my blouses up to dry and only put towels, undies and pants in the dryer.
