Wash Care Labels

Items not suitable for tumble drying
10
Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no
trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be
dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving
full washing and drying instructions. These should always be
followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the
first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Or:
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
• Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic
film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles
which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.
towels contaminated with hair lacquer
• Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
• Items which have been dry cleaned
• Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do
in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the
woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
• Garments with the ITCL Code
Do not tumble dry.
• Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY
WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING
PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD.
