Usually Referred to As 
Drying using room temperature air (no heater), to "fluff" items that were either line dried, or refresh after being away in storage (drawers, closets, etc). Air Fluff dry cycle is also used for items where one does not wish to expose the fabric to heat, such as perhaps wool. The cycle also works well in removing pet hair and such from dry textiles. Hope this answers your question. L. | ||

I tend to agree with Toggles. I still see the "fluff 'n' fold" term used at some of the fuller service laundromats. I also agree with Laundress. But, "air fluff" cycles aren't the same as "touch up" or "wrinkle-out" cycles, which use some heat in the beginning to remove wrinkles. I have to say that my old clunker/junker '97 Amana dryer did a better job than my new Duet in this regard. | ||

Fluff and Fold could be anything from tumble drying, then "fluffing" by shaking with a snap then folding, to merely tumble drying and folding. One would think that fluff and fold in terms of laundromat/commercial laundries is to mean that items are not ironed in any way, but merely folded after drying. Fluff may also have taken on meaning as commercial laundries began to switch from air/line drying to machine drying which leaves laundry "fluffier". L. | ||

The early Hamilton clothes dryers had a badge at the bottom right of the door that spelled out in chrome cursive letters, "fluff dry" at an upward angle. | ||

laundress In this area the laundries never did offer damp return. Possible becuase of our climate and problems with clothes mildewing and souring. | ||

Yes,one always assumed return "damp" service only worked in cooler areas/time of the year. Cannot imagine laundry being taken directly from the wash and delivered as the route costs would be very high. Of course a laundry could offer to service a small close area and process the return damp work first, then send it all out in an early afternoon delivery. | ||
