sequent loads.
Stains on dried clothes could be stains that weren't
removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes

Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static elec-
tricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SEN-
SOR DRY cycles. Select a "Less Dry" setting on Sensor Dry
cycles, if necessary.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup.
Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter
TIMED DRY time settings.
