Recommended procedure for laundry to be tumble-dried:

Use the tumble dryers very strictly.

Dryers consume energy: be careful not to lose heat by leaving the door open after use:

-Do not leave the door open after unloading and before loading the next batch (10° lost each minute the door is open).

-Clean the lint/fluff filter regularly during the day. Clean filters reduce energy use.

-Do not over-dry laundry if it is to be ironed after drying. If it is too dry, it will need re-wetting for finishing.

-Test the drying time for each type of article and write down drying times per textile family.

-Respect the filling ratio: if laundry piles up against the loading door, it means that the dryer is overloaded. The laundry must rotate freely all over the drum.

-Don’t hesitate to let the dryer run empty for a few minutes between two loads. It costs less and saves time since you will not have to heat it up at the next load.

-Never leave hot laundry in the dryer at the end of the working day (fire hazard). It is better to leave wet laundry overnight and dry it the next morning.

-Use the “cooling” button for the last cycle of the day.
