PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 

 

 

 

SNAGS, HOLES,

Chemicals such as hair bleach, dye, permanent wave solutions, battery acids and

TEARS, RIPS OR

toilet bowl cleaners may cause fabric holes. Rinse all towels and other articles that

contaminate clothing articles with these chemicals.

 

 

 

As permanent press garments age, they may show fraying at collars and cuffs. This

 

 

is normal due to weakening of fibers by the permanent press process. It is not caused

 

 

by washer. You can slow this process by washing small permanent press loads with

 

 

a large water level. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with permanent press.

 

 

Remove collar stays, when possible.

 

 

 

 

c May be caused by the use of Regular Cycles for delicate articles. Use Permanent

 

 

Press cycle. Refer to garment manufacturer’s care labels.

 

 

 

Garments weakened by age, sun or atmosphere. This is inevitable and is not caused

 

 

by washer.

move freely. Select correct water level.
