set a brief post-drying time, but
at least 30
minutes
. This will be necessary particularly
for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets,
etc.).
Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins).
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 cotton lined anoraks, the cotton layer
should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry
better.

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen:
