Can I Tumble Dry Wilkinsons Fleece?

[LigMonBuzTed]

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has the Wilkinsons fleece pet blankets and can say whether they can actually be tumble dried - instructions say don't tumble dry, which might be a problem!

ive not used wilkinsons fleeces,but usually its not recommended to tumble dry fleece,,,,,as it shrinks !if you are not concerned about that then maybe try a low heat,wash and dry 3 times to allow wicking of fleece,that so urine passes through the fleece,not to use fabric conditioner as this will also stop urine passing through,

Ah, thanks Eileen - I suppose fleece dries quick enough anyway without need for tumbling. Will have to make sure to wash on a dry/windy day

Yeah,i put my 6x2 fleece liners outside to dry on the rotary line,dried within 2 hours,its only 5 degrees celcius today,so it can be done !

Don't forget that the fluff you remove from the dryer filter are fabric fibres. Over time tumble driers thin clothes.
