Tip - Flatwork
Warm Rinse
A warm rinse allows more water to be extracted from the material. This means the ironer needs to
remove less moisture from the fl atwork to produce a dry, high quality fi nish. Furthermore, the ironer can be
run faster if the fi nal rinse is warm.
Moisture Retention (MR)
After extraction, the optimum MR is 30% - 35% for mixed- fi ber-content fabrics and 45% - 50% for cotton
fabrics. To determine the MR after extraction, use a precise scale to measure the “still wet, but extracted”
fl atwork; then weigh again after the same fl atwork is “completely dry”. Subtract the weight of the “still wet, but
extracted” fl atwork from the “completely dry” fl atwork. Divide the weight difference by the “completely dry”
fl atwork weight. Finally, multiply the resulting weight by 100 to determine the MR percentage.
The optimum MR after ironing is 4% or less. Ironing is not intended to remove 100% of the moisture
from the fl atwork. Therefore, feel the fl atwork when it fi rst comes out of the unit; there should be a slight
moisture content. Allow the fl atwork to sit for a few minutes to allow excess steam and heat to dissipate in the
air. Check the fl atwork again; it should now feel dry to the touch. For more information, review the Instruction
Manual , Flatwork Handling procedure.
NOTE: This Operating Standard form needs to be completed and approved by the laundry manager at each facility. Each laundry facility
uses different means to accomplish a quality fi nish, including wash formulas, extraction, number of personnel, etc.; the Chicago Dryer
Company does not assume any responsibility how this form is completed or used.
