2.Wash following manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE:

l Sun-damaged curtains and draperies will tear whether hand or machine washed.

l Replace slipcovers while still slightly damp. They will dry to fit tightly.

When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add detergent to load. Avoid overuse of fabric softeners. Absorbency will be reduced.
