Washing special-care items

Most garments and household textiles have care labels with laundering instructions. Always follow care label directions when they are available. Below are general washing instruc- tions for some special washables.

ITEM

Blankets

(electric or woolen)

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Pretreat spots and stains. Select water temperature, cycle, and time according to the type of blanket being washed. Two rinses may be necessary. Check care label to see if manufacturer recommends machine washing.

Curtains, drapes, slipcovers

Wash small loads. Crowding may cause wrinkling. Replace slipcovers while still slightly damp. They will dry to fit tightly.

NOTE: Sun-damaged curtains and draperies will tear whether hand or machine washed.

Diapers

 

When

using chlorine

bleach

for soaking,

add

extra

detergent

to

 

 

the load. Avoid overuse of fabric softeners - absorbency will be

 

 

reduced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elastic,

spandex

Elastic

picks up oil from the

body. Oil can damage

elastic.

Wash

 

 

often to reduce the damage. Use warm water and sufficient

 

 

 

detergent to remove oils. Do not use chlorine bleach.

 

 

 

Flame-retardant

Items

will

be clearly

labeled

as flame-retardant.

Follow

 

 

clothing

 

manufacturer’s

instructions

to

retain

flame-retardant

 

qualities.

 

Knits,

washable

Knits

are comfortable

to wear

because

they stretch.

 

However,

 

 

 

this means that knits are more likely to be stretched and dam-

 

 

aged when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of

 

 

 

 

synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to

 

 

 

keep their original shape more than a knit 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

items

 

in a mesh

bag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quilts,

bedspreads

Do not wash

cotton-filled

comforters

unless they are

quilted or

 

 

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

one

 

 

rug at a time. If washing only one rug, add bath towels to balance

 

 

the load.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snowsuits, jackets

Wash

only one or two 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.
