they have not left their gas lighters

dry cleaning fluid.These are of a
volatile nature and could cause an
explosion.
Only tumble dry items which have
been washed in water or require air-
ing.

not remain in the drum during the

products should not be machine
washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are
