Agitation and tumbling contribute to the shrinkage and felting of wool. We cannot guarantee that wool will not shrink. However, if care is taken and the blanket manufacturer's instructions are followed, satisfactory results should be obtained. Wash by the soak method with as little agitation as possible. After washing, stretch blanket gently in both directions. Heat dryer at REGULAR heat with about five dry bath towels. Place towels between folds in blanket. This will "cushion" it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for 20 minutes on the TIME DRY
cycle. Check blanket when timer reaches 10. Wool blankets must be removed from the dryer when damp. Stretch gently to shape and finish drying over two
clothes lines or in a flat position.
DELICATE heat. If dryer drying is recommended by the manufacturer, dry as for wool. Do not stretch the blanket because of the wiring. Some electdc
blankets may have an insulation on the the thermostats or on the wiring which will not withstand dryer heat. Do not dryer dry unless the blanket manufacturer
says it can be done.
REGULAR heat.
DELICATE heat. Some of these blankets are fluffy and will shed lint. Tumble
on NO HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint. Use a gentle wash method, then dry in dryer until just dry. The lint filter may need to be cleaned
during the drying.
REGULAR heat. Ticking must be strong and seams secure, if in doubt, sew pillow into a case or use a zippered pillowcase to prevent feathers from coming out. After washing, shake pillow to fluff feathers. Dry one large or two smaller 3illows. Use TIME DRY cycle. Shake and reposition pillows several times during drying. Pillows must be dry in the center to prevent mildew. Drying may take two hours or longer. Reset dryer timer if necessary. The odor of wet feathers is not pleasant. However, the odor will disappear once the pillows dry.
Follow manufacturer's directions.
Do not dry in the dryer.
