Never tumble dry the following: Particularly delicate items such as net curtains ,woolen, silk, fabrics with metal
trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any
items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.
Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
Close press studs, zips, hooks, tie belts and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of
drying required.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract fluff.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
Easy-care items, e. g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
Knitted textiles(knitted underwear) may shrinkage a little during drying. Please do not over-dry items of
this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
If individual items are still damp after drying ,set a brief post-drying time ,but at least 30 minutes. This
will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars ,pockets ,etc.)
them.
Button up pillowcases ,close zip fasteners ,hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
Close zips ,button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons(e.g.of aprons).
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out(e.g.with cottonlined anoraks ,the cotton layer should be
outermost) .These fabrics will then dry better.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches .
