Practical laundry guides
Drying & specialist items
Plan drying and care for outdoor kit and awkward items.
Drying permission is separate from washing permission. For specialist kit, follow the exact manufacturer’s guidance and check whether a shared machine is suitable before visiting. Upcoming guides will cover drying choices and item-specific preparation; use the care-label tool and the operator’s rules while those guides are in preparation.
