how do you fold the hanging sweater dryer back up?

I couldn't figure it out either but I knew there must be a way so this last time I used it I layed all the layers flat and picked it up on the ends and gave it a hard twist in opposite directions and it flipped right together back in the circle. I was excited as it fit back into the mesh bag just like when it came.

Very carefully, lol. There is a definite trick to it and I can't always say I get it on the first or fifth try. Grab the lower left corner and top right corner and twist it into itself. It may take a few tries but it will fold up eventually.

Collapse the shelves onto each other into one flat plane and hold it by opposite corners. You'll want to start with your hands in opposite positions (ie: one with fingers up, thumb facing you, the other with fingers down, thumb facing away). Then, while holding the corners, twist the plane, turning your hands in opposite directions from each other. The dryer should coil itself up ending in a flat disc that fits into the pouch that it came with. Sometimes the layers coil a little unevenly and you have to adjust it a bit to make it fit right. Once you get used to the little twist motion, it's very quick and easy.

I don't fold it up, I just let the three levels collapse on ecah other and keep it in a large plastic bag..

Awesome!!! Durable & perfect size for sweaters. It comes in a round bag and believe it or not, folds into a circle for quick and small storage space. Would recommend it ~ I use often!

You can fold them out to put the clothes on, and fold them back afterwards. The clothes would still dry. I actually use some clothes pins. I can get more clothes on that way. It closes on the clothes pins just fine, though sometimes I have to readjust a couple. It takes less than 30 seconds.

Step on the small metal bar on the back end. That will release it for folding.

PUSH IT! :-) Seriously, fold it as much as you can on the lines that remains from the first time you took it out and then the rest is just pushing it harder and harder! That is how I do it :-)

I'm not sure, but on my dryer there is a tiny "pin hole" in the switch. I would try inserting, perhaps the screw driver for glasses screw into the hole to move it over. (Be sure not to have it plugged in) Hope this works....Post if it does I would like to know.

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

We wash it in a machine, try not to leave in the dryer too long, then hang it up to finish drying.

Hello. Just raise the top until you hear a click, them you just fold the bottom into the top part. It was really easy once I figured it out.

I have just tossed into washer, but dried on drying rack, never the dryer. No, have not made covers for the one we have.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

The cord is not retractable. I keep mine in a drawer but it's big and it doesn't fold. It's a powerful dryer - not sure best choice for fine hair

The directions are in/on the box, but quickly I recall doing the following: Put clothes to be cleaned in bag provided along with cleaning sheet, which will be damp when opened. Put into dryer for approx. 30 min. on warm. (Also, there is a "cleaning booster" you can spray on before cleaning. After 30 min. in dryer, take sweater or whatever you have (don't crowd) out and hang up to air. That's it.

Hi Carla, I have not had that problem. I keep my dryer up from May - October. When my husband takes it down for the season he closes slowly while keeping the lines straight up and down. I also store standing up in the garage with a garbage bag on top to keep the lines clean. I am asking my husband now ----- Take and gather the lines on either side of the center pole so that when you fold the dryer the lines don't get all tangled. You can use string or elastic ribbon to tie together when closing. Hope this helps

Hanging them outside to dry is the best way. A mechanical wringer would get them dry enough for an automatic dryer, but good ones are not cheap or readily available. While hand-wringing sort of works on woven fabrics, it's not a good idea for knits because they get stretched out of shape. Debbie is right about the dripping, and it's hard to wring heavy fabrics like denim jeans. Knit sweaters and tops can be squeezed to get much of the water out, and if you wrap a clean dry towel around them you can squeeze out even more, then hang the towel to dry with the rest of the laundry.

You will need to put the beach towels in the middle, or balance one on each side so that the dryer doesn't fall over. This item is very flimsy.

I would love to help you, but I have not used this dryer for a while. I did not like it. the end does come off, but I found it awkward to use. Heavy, just not comfortable to use, like off balance or something. Good Luck
