Drying Special Items
Type of Load Special Instructions
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.
Blankets
Electric
Synthetic Fibers
Thermal Cotton
Wool
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. If drying items in dryer is recommended by the
manufacturer, dry as for wool. Do not stretch the blanket because of the wiring. Some
electric blankets may have an insulation on the the thermostats or on the wiring which
will not withstand dryer heat. Do not dryer dry unless the blanket manufacturer says it
can be done.
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Some of these blankets are fluffy and will shed lint.
Tumble on NO HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint. Use a gentle wash
method, then dry in dryer until just dry. The lint filter may need to be cleaned during
the drying.
AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle.
Agitation and tumbling contribute to the shrinkage and felting of wool. We cannot
guarantee that wool will not shrink. However, if care is taken and the blanket
manufacturer’s instructions are followed, satisfactory results should be obtained. Wash
by the soak method with as little agitation as possible. After washing, stretch blanket
gently in both directions. Use approximately five dry bath towels and place them
between folds in blanket. This will “cushion” it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for
20 minutes on the TIME DRY cycle. Use REGULAR heat setting, if it is available on
your dryer. Check blanket when timer reaches 10. Wool blankets must be removed
from the dryer when damp. Stretch gently to shape and finish drying over two clothes
lines or in a flat position.
Curtains
Cotton
Fiberglass
Synthetic Fibers
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove damp items for ironing or
dry completely, then steam iron.
DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER unless recommended by the manufacturer. Fiberglass
may shred. Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next load. This could
irritate the skin. “Beta” fiberglass may be dryer dried if recommended by the
manufacturer.
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. 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 cool down period. Remove from dryer immediately and
hang. If the dryer has been heated from a previous load, NO HEAT setting may be
sufficient.
Denim, Corduroy AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams
are slightly wet to minimize shrinkage.
