Items requiring special attention
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,
vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are
simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the
machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and
Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and
Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.
Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not
occur.
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should
always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the
garment before you begin.
Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid
the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a
slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items
on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is
removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.
Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing
dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the
fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!
To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and
soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final
rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and
softness and helps eliminate static cling.
Garments with the ITCL Code may be cleaned using one of the
Home Dry Cleaning Kits available.
The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be
strictly followed.
