DRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort items into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. This
prevents the possibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new. Colour
run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
how the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
