Wash care labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry at high heat setting.
Tumble dry at low heat setting.
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:
•Articles that contain rubber or
•Glass fibers (certain types of draperies).
•Items that have been Dry Cleaned.
•Items with the ITLC code (“Special clothing items”)
. These can be cleaned with special
•Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads, etc.). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.
At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and permanent press items together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.
