LAUNDRY TIPS

Washing special-care items

Most garments and household textiles have care labels with laundering instructions. Always follow care label directions when they are available. Below are general washing instruc- tions for some special washables.

ITEM	CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Blankets	Pretreat spots and stains. Select water temperature, cycle, and
(electric or woollen)	time according to the type of blanket being washed. An extra
	rinse may be necessary. Check care label to see if manufacturer
	recommends machine washing.

Curtains, drapes,	Wash small loads. Crowding may cause wrinkling. Replace
slipcovers	slipcovers while still slightly damp. They will dry to fit tightly.
	NOTE: Sun-damaged curtains and draperies will tear whether
	hand or machine washed.

Diapers	When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add extra detergent to
	the load. Avoid overuse of fabric softeners – absorbency will be
	reduced.

Elastic, spandex	Elastic picks up oil from the body. Oil can damage elastic. Wash
	often to reduce the damage. Use warm water and sufficient
	detergent to remove oils. Do not use chlorine bleach.

Flame-retardant	Items will be clearly labeled as flame-retardant. Follow
clothing	manufacturer’s instructions to retain flame-retardant qualities.

Knits	Knits are comfortable to wear because they stretch. However,
	this means that knits are more likely to be stretched and dam-
	aged when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of
	synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to
	keep their original shape more than a knit made of cotton
	or ramie.

Pillows, stuffed	Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless they will be
toys	dried in a dryer.

Plastic, rubber	Treat as delicate items. Wash in warm water. Wash small items
items	in a mesh bag.

Quilts, bedspreads	Do not wash cotton-filled comforters unless they are quilted or
	stitched. Tucked cotton batting tends to slip and become lumpy.
	An extra rinse may be necessary.

Scatter rugs	Shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose dirt. Wash more than one
	rug at a time. If washing only one rug, add bath towels to balance
	the load.

Snowsuits, jackets	Wash only one or two items at a time. You may need to stop the
	washer occasionally to press air from the items being washed.
	An extra rinse may be necessary.
