You can machine wash or hand wash polyester clothing. Do not let wet clothes sit or they will develop an unpleasant smell.
Most dryer sheets are coated with a fabric softener and a pleasant scent. If you used a fabric softener in the wash, you don’t need to use a dryer sheet. An alternative is to use wool dryer balls during the dryer cycle. Wool balls absorb moisture from clothing in the dryer, maintaining a more humid environment, and helping you get rid of static cling and friction.
The low setting will prevent the dryer from heating up and melting or shrinking the fibers. Remove the clothing from the dryer as soon it’s done to prevent wrinkles.
Wash your polyester in cold water to prevent shrinkage. Polyester can be washed in a washing machine or by hand.
Do not twist or wring the polyester or you will stretch and damage the fibers in the garment. Squeezing out excess water will make air drying much faster.
Leaving the garment folded or balled up will increase the drying time. You can place the garment under the shade of a tree or in an enclosed porch or deck.
Don’t lay your wet polyester on a colorful towel or some of the dye could transfer onto your garment.
You can point a fan towards the wet clothes to quicken the drying process.
