Items requiring special attention
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course, vary
tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are simply
too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine
will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and Garments) made
from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and Dralon) must be
dried with special care on Low heat setting. Overdrying should be
avoided to ensure heat creasing does not occur.
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should always
read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the garment
before you begin.
Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid the
distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a slightly
heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items on the
washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is removed from the
load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.
Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing
dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric
limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!
To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft
we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final rinse of
your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness and
helps eliminate static cling.
Garments with the ITCL code may be cleaned using one of the Home
Dry Cleaning Kits available.
The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be strictly
followed.
