Pages 9 and 10 include drying instructions for most types of washables. The chart below provides drying instructions for special-care washables.

ITEMS

Blankets and woolens

•Cotton, rayon, synthetic blankets

•Electric blankets, electric sheets, woolen blankets, washable woolen garments

Curtains,

slipcovers

•Draperies, slipcovers

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS

Machine drying knitted woolens is not recommended. Block to shape when wet and allow to air dry. Line dry blankets in the shade on a breezy day over two lines. Pin edges together and straighten them. When partly dry, turn the blanket over, re-pin, and re-straighten. When dry, brush nap.

Dry as recommended for permanent press fabrics on page 9.

If manufacturer recommends machine drying:

1.Place one or two dry towels in the dryer and preheat 3-5 minutes on a high setting. This will dry blankets faster and help avoid pilling.

2.Put blanket in dryer with warm towels. Set control for 20 minutes.

3.Check after 10 minutes. Remove when still damp. Overdrying and long tumbling can cause shrinking and pilling.

4.Place blanket on flat surface, or over two lines to finish drying. Gently stretch to original size and shape.

5.When completely dry, brush gently to raise nap. Press binding with cool iron if needed.

Remove drapery weights and hooks before laundering.

For slipcovers, replace while still slightly damp. They will dry to fit tightly.

Dry only a few minutes.

1.Leave room in dryer for load to fluff.

2.Remove from dryer while slightly damp. Do not overdry.

Diapers, baby clothes

Elastic items

Flame-retardant finishes

Wash and dry small items in a mesh bag or pillowcase for convenient handling.

Remove diapers and cotton knit items while still slightly damp. They will feel softer, shrink less, and be easier to fold.

Remove from dryer while still slightly damp.

Some items have been treated with a flame-retardant finish to improve their resistance to burning. Such items are clearly labeled. To retain flame-retardant qualities through continuous use and washing, clean and dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
