Will one hot cycle in the dryer shrink as much as two low cycles?

Question

Solve an argument with hubby for me. LOL

We have a whirlpool duet washer and dryer. My hubby puts things on medium heat and shrinks them.

I put them on low and because it has a heat sensor, if you don't get them dry the first time you run a 2nd cycle and it will stop when it's dry.

He says drying it twice on low will shink just as much as drying once on hot.

Who is right? :)

Answer 1

You are for most fabrics. Your hubby is wrong on all counts. Some fabrics will shrink in any heat.

Answer 2

We always run ours on low and nothing has ever shrunk.
