PLEASE READ THE CAUTIONARY NOTES ON PAGE 4.
It is very important to follow carefully each garment manufacturer's wash-
ing and drying instructions, as given on the Care Label
attached to the garment.
Do not overspin easy-care fabrics in your automatic washing machine or
spin dryer. These fabrics dry quickly in a tumble dryer and many of them
do not need ironing at all if they are dried in small loads.
Fabric Conditioner added to the wash will give even more softness to
all fabrics and is invaluable for controlling the static electricity which
causes easy-care fabrics to cling and attract dirt.
You may find the following symbols on care labels of recently manufac-
tured garments:–
indicates article may be tumble dried
indicates article must not be tumble dried.
Never put dripping wet clothes in to the dryer.
Large, very bulky items including duvets and sleeping bags should
not be dried in a tumble dryer as it is essential that the load can
tumble so that air can pass through it.
Articles that contain safety pins, hair grips, metal fastenings or
stiffening (e.g. bra wires) that may become detached should not be
placed in laundry appliances. If they tumble free they could interfere
with mechanical or electrical part of your washer or dryer.
PLEASE READ CAUTIONARY NOTES ON PAGE 4 REGARDING
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES AND WOOL.
Clothes should be sorted into similar fabrics before drying. Cotton which
needs ironing can be dried to a suitable dampness. Towels and other
cotton items which do not need ironing can be fully dried and these will
be ready to wear or store as soon as they are taken from the dryer.
Heavy fabrics should be dried separately from lightweight fabrics.
Loose belts, apron strings etc. should be tied and zip fasteners fully
closed before being placed in the dryer. Garments like jeans should be
turned inside out to avoid damage to the drum by metal studs.
