## Abstract

Disclosed is a device to extract dry clothes from a clothes dryer. The device comprises a support loop. The support loop includes a netting disposed within the support loop. The support loop is made of at least one of a plurality of fiberglass rods and stainless steel spring. The support loop flexes to allow it to fit into an opening at a front door of the clothes dryer and then expands to overlie the clothes. The drum is then manually rotated 180 degrees so that the clothes lie on top of the netting and the entire device is then again flexed and removed from the dryer with the dried clothes.
