Sorry just realised I posted on my daughter's login.

Here is query:

"Having used the laundry service in the villa or hotel over the last few years I've never yet mastered the right setting for the tumble dryer, either it's too hot and everything shrinks or it's too cold and takes forever. what is the best mild setting to use to make sure no shrinkage takes place?"

Depends what make and model of tumble dryer it is as different makes and models have different settings. Our new tumble dryer has different settings to the previous one for instance.

Best ask your home owner for their particular model setting recommendations I would think as they probably know their own better than anyone else. Alternatively, we leave all our appliance user manuals in one of the kitchen drawers so, if your owner does that, then it's pretty easy to follow.

She is soooo cute. Looks like she's a tumble dryer expert too so you've got her well trained.

Lovely pics Andrew!

The secret is to always use easy care settings as the hotter cotton setting drys too quickly. If there is a low temperature button use that and I never allow clothes to dry completely in the tumble dryer as that is when they can shrink

I always use the 'wrinkle free' setting and hardly have any ironing to do if I take the clothes out as soon as the cycle is finished. Have always used this setting on whatever make of dryer we have had over the years.

Aha, you've just nicely illustrated exactly what I meant earlier.

Neither of our two dryers have had a 'wrinkle free' setting but they do have others instead like 'easy care', 'towels', 'linen', 'delicates' and 'trouser press' for instance. Plus they also have had a timer which you could choose instead.

I have a couple of settings on mine, normally using normal dry and optimum dry. I use normal dry for clothes, and optimum dry for the towels as they come out nice and fluffy

Mine at the villa has an "economical" setting which continues tumbling until the clothes are dry then switches off and is the one I use for everything.

Now that Sabrina is a couple of years older than when the photos were taken I will pass on all your advice as she will be able to understand it ( hopefully)

Andrew , your little girl is just adorable ,enjoy every minute they grow up so fast. With regard to the dryer question I tend not to put any delicates in the dryer just leave them overnight and they are ready to iron the next day not that I do much ironing on vacation.

We also find that the hottest setting is much too hot and cold takes forever, so we just go for the middle of the range.

I use the normal setting 'just dry' which seems to work!
