Curtains
Cotton
NORMAL heat. Remove damp for ironing or dry completely, then steam iron.
Synthetic Fibres
DELICATE heat. Allow room for tumbling to prevent wrinkling. Delicate or sheer
curtains must be dried by themselves so they will not be snagged by hooks or
crushed by other clothes in the load. Some sheer curtains are heat sensitive.
Dry 10 minutes only, plus the no heat period. Remove from dryer immediately
and hang. If the dryer has been heated from a previous load, NO HEAT setting
may be sufficient.
Fibreglass
DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Fibreglass may shred. Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next
load. This could irritate the skin. “Beta” fibreglass may be dryer dried if
recommended by the manufacturer.
Draperies
Remove hooks and weights before washing. Choose heat for fabric and allow
space in the dryer for tumbling. Some draperies may be removed when slightly
damp and hung immediately. Lined draperies should be dry-cleaned because
they have a tendency to pucker.
Rugs
Cotton With Cotton
NORMAL heat. Dry one large or several small rugs. For one small rug only,
Backing
add towels for buffers.
Synthetic Fibres
DELICATE or NO HEAT. Follow manufacturer’s suggestions. Some of these
rugs are heat sensitive and should be removed from the dryer when damp, or
dried with no heat.
Rubber-backed
Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of
rubber-like materials are flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY
FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS WITH HEAT.
Slip Covers
Choose heat for fabric. Close zippers. Dry one couch cover, two chair covers or
five or six pillow covers at one time. Remove from dryer when slightly damp.
Press pleats if necessary and replace on furniture immediately. Stretch fabrics
and knits should be dried completely so they will fit snug when replaced on
furniture.
Bedspreads
Choose heat for fabric. Dry one double or two single spreads. Chenille and
tufted spreads will shed lint and should be dried by themselves. New spreads
especially, will contain loose lint. Tumble on NO HEAT setting before washing to
remove loose lint. These spreads may be dried completely.
