Knit articles	All Knits		Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw
			together 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 overdrying, rewet them and dry
			properly.
	Cottons		AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape,
			smooth seams and pockets, etc.
	Synthetic Fibers		AUTOMATIC REGULAR or AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS cycle. Turn inside out to prevent “pilling”
	(nylon, orlon,		(rolling up of the fiber ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with similar things because they tend to
	polyester etc.)		attract lint. Make sure the load is large enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer
			immediately to minimize wrinkling.
	Wool		DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. For wool labeled “machine washable” follow manufacturer’s directions. For
			other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dryer loosely knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and
			stretch to shape from a pattern drawn before washing.
Lingerie	Cotton		AUTOMATIC 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 overdrying.
	Foam Rubber		Bras, bathing suits, sun suits, etc, DO NOT DRY THESE ITEMS IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT, FIRE MAY
			RESULT. NO HEAT 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 drying with lint-shedding fabrics.
	Synthetic Fibers		TIME DRY cycle. Use a DELICATE or LOW HEAT 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 electricity if overdried. TO prevent this use fabric
			softener and avoid overdrying.
Denim,			AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams are slightly wet to
Corduroy			minimize shrinkage.
Rugs		Cotton with	AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Dry one large or several small rugs. For one small rug
		Cotton	only, add towels for buffers.
		Backing
		Rubber-	Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of rubber-like materials are
		backed	flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS
			WITH HEAT.
		Synthetic	DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Follow manufacturer’s suggestions. Some of these rugs are heat
		Fibers	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
and Toys			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.
