Drying special-care items

Most garments and household textiles have care labels with laundering instructions. Always follow label directions when they are available. General drying instructions for some special washables are included in this section.

Follow care label directions.

If shoes can be machine laundered:

1.Place several bath towels in the dryer to act as a buffer, or place shoes on drying rack if your dryer has one.

2.If rubber or foam rubber materials are part of the shoe, use an Air setting. For other materials, see page 8 for cycle, time, and tempera- ture recommendations.

3.Remove shoes from dryer while still damp and allow to air dry.

If manufacturer recommends machine drying, dry one pillow at a time and:

1.Make sure coverings are securely stitched.

2.Shake and fluff the items by hand several times during the cycle.

3.Make sure pillows are completely dry. Feather pillows take a long time to dry.

Follow care label directions.

Follow care label directions.

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

Dry as recommended for permanent press fabrics on page 8. 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.
