Items requiring special attention
Blankets and Bedspreads
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course, 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. Woollen blankets can however be dried on the Full heat setting if required.
Permanently | Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should | |
pleated or creased | always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the | |
garments | garment before you begin. | |
Starched articles | Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid | |
| the distribution of starch to | |
| 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. | |
