LAUNDRY TIPS
ITEM | CARE INSTRUCTIONS |
|
|
Knits | Knits are comfortable to wear because they stretch. However, this |
| means that knits are more likely to be stretched and damaged |
| when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of synthetic |
| fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to keep their |
| original shape more than knits 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 in |
items | a mesh bag. |
|
|
Quilts, bedspreads | Do not wash |
| 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 1 rug |
| at a time. If washing only 1 rug, add bath towels to balance the load. |
|
|
Snowsuits, jackets | Wash only 1 or 2 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. |
