Sorting your laundry

1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before

washing and drying.

2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and

belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have
done this for each item  before the washing stage.

3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each

item before drying. This saves you time and money.

4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble

drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see“Wash
Care Labels” section).

Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.
if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the
maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-
dry without creasing.

To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some every-
day washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic
fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to
finish them off.
