	Use and Care
Drying Special Items

Type of Load	Special Instructions

Bedspreads	Choose heat for fabric. Dry one double or two single spreads. Chenille and tufted
	spreads will shed lint and should be dried by themselves. New spreads especially will
	contain loose lint. Tumble on NO HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint.
	These spreads may be dried completely.

Blankets
Electric	DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. If drying items in dryer is recommended by the
	manufacturer, dry as for wool. Do not stretch the blanket because of the wiring. Some
	electric 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.
Synthetic Fibers	DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. 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.
Thermal Cotton	AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle.
Wool	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. Use approximately five dry bath towels and place them
	between folds in blanket. This will “cushion” it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for
	20 minutes on the TIME DRY cycle. Use REGULAR heat setting, if it is available on
	your dryer. 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.

Curtains
Cotton	AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove damp items for ironing or
	dry completely, then steam iron.
Fiberglass	DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER unless recommended by the manufacturer. Fiberglass
	may shred. Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next load. This could
	irritate the skin. “Beta” fiberglass may be dryer dried if recommended by the
	manufacturer.
Synthetic Fibers	DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Allow room for tumbling to prevent wrinkling.
	Delicate or sheer curtains must be dried by themselves so they will not be snagged by
	hooks or crushed by other clothes in the load. Some sheer curtains are heat sensitive.
	Dry 10 minutes only, plus the cool down period. Remove from dryer immediately and
	hang. If the dryer has been heated from a previous load, NO HEAT setting may be
	sufficient.

Denim, Corduroy	AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams
	are slightly wet to minimize shrinkage.
