LAUNDRY TIPS

ITEM

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

Knits

Knits are comfortable to wear because they stretch. However, this

 

means that knits are more likely to be stretched and damaged

 

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

 

fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to keep their

 

original shape more than knits 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 in

items

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 1 rug

 

at a time. If washing only 1 rug, add bath towels to balance the load.

 

 

Snowsuits, jackets

Wash only 1 or 2 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.
