Diapers

1.Rinse immediately. Soak in a solution of lukewarm water and a small amount of detergent until you are ready to wash them. You may wish to use bleach or a special soaking product when soaking.

2 Spin excess water from diapers before washing.

3.Wash diapers as you would wash white cottons and linens.

Blankets and washable woolens

For electric blankets, woolen blankets and washable woolen garments:

1.Measure blanket or trace outline of garment before washing.

2.Add mild detergent to washer. Fill and agitate briefly to dissolve detergent

3.Stop washer. Load items evenly around agilator. Soak 10 to 15 minutes.

4.Set control to Drain and Spin. Start washer. Spin 1 minute. See page 8 for more informa- tion.

5.Fill washer for final rinse. Stop washer. Allow to soak.

6.Set control to Drain and Spin. Start washer. Allow washer to finish the cycle. Two rinses may be necessary.

7.Lay item(s) on flat surface and block by gently stretching to original measurement. Woolens tend to shrink more the first time they are washed. This is normal.

Curtains, draperies, and slipcovers

1.Shake or vacuum to remove loose dirt.

2.Wash small loads. Crowding will cause wrinkling.

3.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.

NOTE:

l When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add detergent to load.

l Overuse of fabric softener reduces the absor- bency of diapers.

Elastic, spandex

1.Elastic picks up oil from the body. Oil can damage elastic. Wash often to help reduce the damage.

2.Use warm water and sufficient detergent to remove oils.

Flame-retardant clothing

items will be clearly labeled as flame-retardant. To help keep flame retardant qualities through continuous use and washing, follow manu- facturer’s instructions.

Glass fiber materials

Do not wash glass fiber material in your washer. Glass particles could stick to the next load and cause skin irritation.

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 fabriis such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to keep their original shape more than a knit made of cotton or ramie.

1.Close zippers, fasten hooks and eyes to prevent snagging.

2.Wash small loads to reduce pilling and linting.
