Hints & Tips

Sorting

Always sort loads for drying according to the type of fabric (check the care labels) and how much you want to dry them. Load items loosely into the drum. Do up zip fasteners and tie loose ribbons, tapes or fabric belts. Close any tapes or fasteners on duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent smaller items from getting trapped inside.

Spinning (water extraction)

Loads should be well spun. The higher the spin speed, the faster your tumble dryer will dry the load and the more energy-efficient the whole process will be. Do not tumble dry dripping wet garments.

Getting the load size right

An overloaded tumble dryer will cause creasing. Drying loads which are too small is uneconomical.

Fluff

The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced. This is perfectly normal, and does not mean that your tumble dryer is wearing out your clothes. When garments are worn and washed by hand or machine, fibres and fluff are released, but remain on the surface of the material.

If dried outdoors on a line these fibres will be blown away by the wind. In a tumble dryer the fluff is collected in the filter and accumulates through the drying process.

Shrinkage

To avoid shrinking, garments should not be overdried. Always check the care labels on your fabrics.

Items which should not be tumble dried

Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains of synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles with a metal component, nylon socks/stockings. Garments made mostly from foam rubber or rubber-like materials must NOT be dried in the tumble dryer.

Obviously, you must not dry garments in the machine which are unsuitable for tumble drying. These are usually labelled with this symbol.

Garments which have been treated with flammable liquids (benzine, alcohol, stain removal products) should not be dried in the tumble dryer on account of the risk of fire. Always follow the recommendations of the garment/item manufacturer.
