Items requiring special attention

Blankets and

The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,

Bedspreads

vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are

 

simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the

 

machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and

 

Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and

 

Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.

 

Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not

 

occur.

 

 

Permanently

Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should

garment before you begin.

 

 

Starched articles

Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid

 

the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a

 

slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items

 

on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is

 

removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.

 

Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing

 

dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the

 

fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!

Fabric conditioner

To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and

 

soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final

 

rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and

 

softness and helps eliminate static cling.
