Check care labels inside the garments.
CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR FABRICS
Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable.
This should avoid shrinkage.
Place delicate articles, e.g.tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.
To avoid the need to iron easy care polyester/cotton items it is better to only dry small loads (i.e.
half fill drum) It is better to dry small and large articles together.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
Do not overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important
that the airflow through the dryer is not obstructed.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the
items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
