At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be
damp if you grouped cottons and permanent press
items together. If this happens simply give them an
additional short period of drying.
Wash Care Labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when
tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols
are the most common:
May be tumble dried
Do
not
tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:
�
Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials
or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear),
any other flammable objects or objects that contain
flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).
�
Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
�
Items which have been dry cleaned.
�
Items with the ITCL Code (
see Special clothing
items
) . These can be cleaned with special
at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions
carefully.
�
Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through
the dryer.
