Drying Hints

Before loading the laundry
Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen,
silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials
such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags,
feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or
materials similar to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent
small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close
press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron
strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying re-
quired.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves
energy.

Air Fluff/No Heat
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fl uffy items
such as towels as they could attract the fl uff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefl y pre-spun
before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30
seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your
washing machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during
drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advis-
able to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new
purchases.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use
either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry
or a fabric conditioner specifi cally for tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has fi nished drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief
post-drying time, for at least 30 minutes. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars,
pockets, etc.).
