   Would you recommend this thermapen to accurately measure the temperature of your clothes when it comes out of the dryer?

   This product is designed for food... I think it will work, but there are better cheaper alternatives

   You might want to look at an infrared thermometer... Here is a link for an example

   Radio Shack carries some thermometers with wired probes and some small battery powered units that could be placed in the clothing at the end of the cycle in the $30 range
