May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry at high heat setting.
Tumble dry at low heat setting.

flammable objects, or objects that contain flammable

• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items that have been Dry Cleaned.
• Items with the ITLC code ("Special clothing items")
These can be cleaned with special at-home dry cleaning

• Large bulky items (pillows, cushions and large
