SPECIAL LAUNDRY TIPS CONT.

Knit Articles	All Knits	Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw togeth-
		er if every bit of moisture is removed form them. It is best to take them out of the dryer with a trace of moisture
		remaining, then stretch to shape. If they do shrink from over drying, rewet them and dry properly.
	Cottons	AUTO DRY REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape, smooth seams
		and pockets, etc.
	Synthetic Fibers	AUTO DRY REGULAR or AUTO DRY WRINKLE FREE FABRICS cycle. Turn inside out to prevent “pilling” (rolling
	(nylon, orlon, poly-	up of the fiber ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with similar things because they tend to attract lint. Make sure
	ester, etc.)	the load is large enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to minimize wrinkling.
	Wool	DELICATE or AIR FLUFF cycle. For wool labeled “machine washable” follow manufacturer’s directions. For other
		wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dry loosely knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and stretch to shape from
		a pattern drawn before washing.
Lingerie	Cotton	AUTO DRY REGULAR cycle.
	Elastic	Body oils can cause elastic to deteriorate. Wash garments containing elastic frequently. Elastic in such things as
		shorts may be dried, however avoid over drying.
	Foam Rubber	Bras, bathing suits, sun suits, etc, DO NOT DRY THESE ITEMS IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT, FIRE MAY RESULT.
		AIR FLUFF setting may be used.
	Stretch Fabrics	Choose heat for the most delicate fiber. These may be dried completely as they will stretch into shape. Avoid dry-
		ing with lint-shedding fabrics.
	Synthetic Fibers	TIME DRY cycle. Use a DELICATE or AIR FLUFF setting, if it is available on dryer. Some sheer fabrics, especially sheer
		knits, can be heat sensitive. Dry these until they are just dry (about 10 minutes) and remove from dryer immediately. Sheer
		fabrics should not be washed and dried with garments containing hooks or zippers. Synthetic fabrics will create static elec-
		tricity if over dried. TO prevent this, use fabric softener and avoid over drying.
Denim, Corduroy		AUTO DRY REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams are slightly wet to minimize shrinkage.
Rugs	Cotton with	AUTO DRY REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Dry one large or several small rugs. For one small rug only, add tow-
	Cotton Backing	els for buffers.
	Rubber-backed	Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of rubber-like materials are flammable under
		certain conditions. DO NOT DRY FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS WITH HEAT.
	Synthetic Fibers	DELICATE or AIR FLUFF cycles. 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.
Stuffed Animals		Make sure the filling and covering is washable and can be dried in the dryer. Cotton filling may become lumpy.
and Toys		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 AIR FLUFF cycle. Use a drying rack or tumble with at least four old bath towels.
