The same care should be taken for Drying fabrics as when
Washing, e.g. split fabric groups, close all zips and hooks, belts
and strings should be tied in loose bow.
It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item
before drying. This reduces the drying time, energy consumption
and the running cost.
Cotton fabrics max. 6 Kg (13.2 lb)
Synthetics, eg Polyester, polycotton max. 3 Kg (6.6 lb)
Acrylics max. 2 Kg (4.4 lb)
Note: Man-made fibres require more space to dry without creasing.
If cotton/terry towelling items are grouped with synthetic fabrics
they could remain damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
occurs, simply replace cottons for a short period of drying to
finish off.
