There are materials that are soft and supple in the tumble dryer.
But there are also those who break.
You can find out what these are here.
While you can put bed linen and towels in the tumble dryer with a clear conscience, there are also fabrics that do not tolerate the heat so well.
As a result, these can die, wear out or break.
Of course, the temperature that is set on the tumble dryer also plays a role.
The hotter, the more dangerous the dryer is for some materials.
In fact, there can also be a risk of fire here.
In this article you will find what should not be put in the dryer and what else you should pay attention to.
This is how you can see what is allowed in the tumble dryer
Regardless of whether it is a piece of clothing, a towel or a bath mat - the little white piece of paper that is sewn on specifies exactly what can and cannot go into the tumble dryer.
If the
label shows
a square with a circle
, the item of clothing can be put in the dryer.
However, if the symbol is
crossed out
, the item is not suitable for the tumble dryer (promotional link).
Another variant of the symbol can also be that individual points are shown in it.
This means, for example, with just one point, that the garment can be put in the tumble dryer at a low temperature.
Two points mean that the normal drying cycle is possible.
A look at the label on clothing, towels, etc. is always worthwhile.

In addition to these materials that do not belong in the tumble dryer, you should also
avoid drying dark and light laundry together
.
Because here, too, there is a risk that the dark color will rub off on the light-colored clothing.
