Items requiring special attention

Blankets and The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,
Bedspreads vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are

Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.

occur.
Permanently Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should
pleated or creased always read the manufacturer's drying instructions attached to the
garments garment before you begin.
Starched articles 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!

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.
