Every time I use the dryer of my washer/dryer, I find that the drum is full of dust and fluff which then covers and coats whatever I then wash in the washing mahine afterwards. I use the dryer twice a week to dry my bed sheets and towels. My machine is a Hoover Performa Plus A Wash 6+4 1250 large load PPW 126.
