The Color of Lint
No matter whether I put white, blue, red or green clothing in my dryer, the lint always comes out gray. Why?
———- from Marsha Wegman of Minneapolis, MN
You know that one black sock the dryer keeps eating? Well, it stays deep within the bowels of the drier, providing a necessary service. Not only does its reluctant fluff lubricate the spinning drum, but it allows you to know that your dryer is indeed, working. Sure, your clothes are dry when they come out, but they were dry when you put them into your washing machine. Dryer lint is the only absolute indicator that something has happened. Gray lint was found to be the most reassuring, providing this tangible gauge of progress, without signifying destruction of your clothing. Very few clothes are gray.
