Items requiring special attention

Drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads vary according to size,
weight and fabric.
If you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have
difficulty drying them properly as they expand when drying and prevent
air flow through the Dryer. This can cause the appliance to overheat.
Blankets (e.g. Acrilan, Courtelle, Dralon and Orlon) must never be over
dried. Such acrylic fabrics should be dried with care onlow heat.
Always refer to manufacturers drying instructions.
Always dry starched articles separately from your normal garments.
Ensure as much of the solution is removed from the garments as possible
before placing in the Dryer.
Use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying items
on the washing line.
If garments are over dried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric
limp.
