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 Fibres
Thermal Cotton
Wool
DELICATE or AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT Fabric Selector settings. 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 AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT Fabric Selector settings. Some of these
blankets are fluffy and will shed lint. Tumble on AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT Fabric
Selector 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/DELICATE 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 Fabric Selector 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
Fibreglass
Synthetic Fibres
AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE or TIME DRY cycles. Remove damp items for
ironing or dry completely, then steam iron.
DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER unless recommended by the manufacturer. Fibreglass
may shred. Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next load. This could
irritate the skin. “Beta” fibreglass may be dryer dried if recommended by the
manufacturer.
DELICATE or AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT Fabric Selector settings. 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, AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT Fabric Selector setting may be sufficient.
Denim, Corduroy AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer
when seams are slightly wet to minimize shrinkage.
