damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together.
If this happens simply give them an additional short
period of drying.
Wash Care Labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when
tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols
are the most common:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
●
Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like
materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC
rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects
that contain flammable substances (towels soiled
with hair spray).
●
Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)
●
Items which have been dry cleaned
●
Items with the ITCL Code (see Special
clothing items). These can be cleaned with special
at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions
carefully.
●
Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through
the dryer.
