Items requiring special attention (cont'd)
Blankets and Bedspreads
The drying requirements for blankets and bedspreads will, of course, vary tremendously according to size and weight. Your Dryer will do a splendid job, often restoring the soft, fluffy feel they had when new. Some, however are, simply too big. If you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have difficulty in drying them properly. During the drying period remove blankets and other large items, shake and reload. This will ensure more even drying.
Blankets made from acrylic fibres (eg, Acrilan, Courtelle, Orlon and Dralon) must be dried with special care. Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not occur.
It will help if you test them occasionally during the programme to see how they are coming along.
Permanently pleated or creased garments
Your Dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the garment before you begin.
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
Fabric conditioner
To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a fabric conditioner, such as Comfort, in the final rinse of your wash. A fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness to everything when it comes out of the Dryer. Using a fabric conditioner also helps eliminate static cling, which can be so irritating and uncomfortable, and thus makes ironing easier.
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD LIQUID FABRIC CONDITIONER BE ADDED TO THE DRYER ITSELF.
