Bandages - anyone tumble dry them?

[vallin]

As per title, my uni room is currently filled with horse stuff that I've washed and (despite the washing) it's kind of stinking the place out so just wondering if I could tumble dry the bandages and pads?
Thoughts appreciated!
TIA

I have the same problem!!
I usually just put more layers on and open the window

I normally put them back in the washing machine but on a spin and find that fleece bandages come out practically dry. If you put things in the tumble dryer that are too wet it's not very good for the dryer and they don't dry particularly well.

Personally i'd Spin them so they're just damp and then might put them in tumbledryer on cold setting if desperate.

If they are making your room smell imagine what the heat from the tumble dryer will do.... Might not make you popular with others!! Unless only your clothes and underwear will using the same dryer...

Spin cycle them? Tumble drier will stink the place out (not bitter experience here, in the laundrettes... Oh no...)

haha, they've been sat in the tackroom needing washing since, erm, september....so I wouldn't feel bad! I needed a kick up the backside! TBH, they probably just need washing again and they're defo not as clean as one would like!

I put a fleece rug in the tumbler once. It looked like a had killed a ginger cat so much chestnut hair blew everywhere. Thank **** our tumbler at home is in the garage And that my mother is horsey!

See, that's why you sneak to the laundrettes and use the massive machine there...

 

[HardySoul1]

Yeah but you have to keep finding a new landerette cos you daren't go back...

 

[vallin]

Ah see university ones are unmanned so you just have to sneak in at the right time and know one will see you

Tumble dry them? Seriously? You are having a laugh! It takes me all my time to sneak things into the washing machine let alone the tumble dryer. Monday is "horsey wash day" in my house (hubby is at work, I am off) but I would never get away with tumble drying - he would smell it as soon as he came in the door

Live somewhere where half the people don't know of the laundrette's existence, and you're sorted Mum stationed me and my sister so no one could see the awful brown water sloshing round the machine... Yuck!

In our local launderette there is a washing machine specifically for horse rugs
