7 BEFORE TUMBLE DRYING

Before you start tumble drying, here is some

advice that can be useful.

Material which should not be tumble-

dried

SPIN-DRIED?

Items that are to be tumble dried should first be spin-dried, preferably at 800 revs per minute or more. Better spin drying saves both energy and drying time.

RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING

Material suitable for tumble drying

The symbol above indicates that the material can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on a line.

NOTE

Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is minimal. The lint caught in the lint filter con- sists of dust and fibre residue that has been for- med when wearing the garments.

This symbol indicates that the material will not withstand tumble-drying.

Certain materials will melt or become dan- gerously flammable if heated, while others will loose their shape or shrink.

Do not tumble-dry...

Materials that are marked “Do not dry close to heat”.

Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.

Foam plastic.

Glass-fibre materials

Woollen items, because of the risk of felting.

SORTING FABRICS

Best results are obtained if all articles are of the same material.

Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load and the temperature as shown in the table be- low.
