FIberglass

Do not wash fiberglass

materials in your washer. Glass particles

msterials

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 fabrics 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 lint.

Pilbws,

stuffed

Washing feather pillows

is not recommended

unless they are

toys

 

dryer dried.

 

 

 

 

1. Add detergent, then partially fill washer with water; agitate

 

 

until detergent is dissolved.

 

 

 

2. Place two pillows on opposite sides of the agitator to balance

 

 

the load.

 

 

 

 

3. Allow washer to fill completely and continue through the

 

 

cycle.

 

 

 

 

4. Stop the washer occasionally to press air from item(s) being

 

 

washed.

 

 

Plastic,

rubber

Treat as delicate items. Wash in warm water. Wash small items

ftems

 

in a mesh bag.

 

 

Quilts,

bsdsprssds

Do not wash cotton-filled

comforters unless

they are quifted or

 

 

stitched; tucked cotton batting tends to slip and become lumpy.

Scatter

rugs

1. Shake or vacuum to remove loose dirt.

 

 

 

2. Wash more than one small rug at a time. If you wash only

 

 

one rug, add bath towels to balance the load. A larger rug

 

 

should be distributed around the agitator to balance the load.

Snowsuits, jackets,

1. Wash only one or two items at a time. Load evenly around

etc.

 

the agitator.

 

 

 

 

2. Stop the washer occasionally to press air from item(s) being
