Wash Care Labels
Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no
trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be
dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving
full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed
carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Or:
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
•
Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic
film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles
which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.
towels contaminated with hair lacquer
• Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
• Items which have been dry cleaned
• Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do
in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the
woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
• Garments with the ITCL Code (see 'Items Requiring Special
Attention').
• Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.

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.

Starched articles
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!
Fabric conditioner
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.
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD LIQUID OR SHEET
FABRIC CONDITIONER BE ADDED TO THE DRYER ITSELF.
