Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle. Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the garment should be dried.
DRY PREPARATION Before you load z z z z Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
