Wash Care Labels

Most of today’s fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be dried away from direct heat.

The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.

Typical symbols are:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Or:

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g. towels contaminated with hair lacquer

Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)

Items which have been dry cleaned

Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the woollen fibre to shrink and distort.

Garments with the ITCL Code (see ‘Items Requiring Special Attention’).

Do not tumble dry.

Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
