| Use and Care |
|
|
Type of Load | Special Instructions |
|
|
Pillows |
|
Feather and | 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 pillows. Use TIME DRY cycle. Use |
| LOW or MEDIUM heat setting if it is available on your dryer. 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. | |
Foam Rubber | Do not dry in the dryer. |
|
|
Quilts | Choose heat and cycle for fabric. Filling and cover must be completely washable. Old |
| quilts may be too fragile to machine wash or dry. Quilts filled with cotton may become |
| lumpy. Quilting should be close together. Remove from dryer slightly damp and stretch |
| gently to shape. Quilted articles may shrink if overdried. |
|
|
Rugs |
|
Cotton with Cotton Backing | AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Dry one large or several small rugs. |
| For one small rug only, add towels for buffers. |
Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of | |
| materials are flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY FOAM RUBBER |
| AND |
Synthetic Fibers | DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Follow manufacturer’s suggestions. Some of these |
| rugs are heat sensitive and should be removed from the dryer when damp, or dried with |
| no heat. |
|
|
Slip Covers | Choose heat for fabric. Close zippers. Dry one couch cover, two chair covers or five or |
| six pillow covers at one time. Remove from dryer when slightly damp. Press pleats if |
| necessary and replace on furniture immediately. Stretch fabrics and knits should be |
| dried completely so they will fit snug when replaced on furniture. |
|
|
Stuffed Animals and Toys | Make sure the filling and covering are washable and can be dryer dried. Cotton filling |
| may become lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie toy into a |
| pillowcase. Choose heat for most sensitive fiber. Dry enough clothes in the load for |
| good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH FOAM RUBBER OR |
| KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT. |
|
|
Tennis Shoes | DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Use a drying rack or tumble with at least four old bath |
| towels. |
