SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
z
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads
of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels,
t-shirts and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items
(eg synthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some
items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life
of your clothing and linen.
z
Look for a care label on your clothes as this will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried.
z
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the
chance of wrinkles, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items from occurring.
z
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to
prevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened and
where possible, turned inside out.
