WHAT TO DO

Follow manufacturer’s product directions carefully.

DO NOT store wet items in washer or dryer. This can cause rusting.

Clean dryer drum thoroughly after drying tinted, dyed or non-colorfast items. (See page 9.)

Follow manufacturer’s product directions carefully.

Dilute fabric softener before adding to deep rinse.

Use enough detergent to hold soil in the wash water until it drains away. Undrained soil can stick to outer tub of the washer and cause greasy spots with next load.

Soiled items can stain other items in the load. They can also leave stains on the dryer drum that can be picked up by items in later loads. Dryer heat may permanently set these stains.

Clean lint screen. (See page 9.)

Sort lint-givers (bath towels, etc.) from lint-takers (synthetics, permanent press).

Use fabric softener in the washer’s final, deep rinse. Use correct dryer settings for fabric. Overdrying synthetics can cause lint-attracting static electricity.

Dry smaller loads. When items can’t tumble freely, air is unable to carry lint to lint screen.

Empty pockets carefully. A small scrap of paper can cause a lot of lint.

Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water until it drains away. Base detergent amount on water hardness and soil in wash load.

Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and laundering. Pills do not break away easily from the fabric and can often collect lint. Synthetic fabrics are more likely to pill than others, especially at neckbands, elbows and knees.

Shrinking

Items are overdried

 

Fabric type and quality is suitable

 

for drying

Remove items while there is still a trace of moisture. Some items should be removed while damp, then shaped and air-dried. Use LESS DRY setting.

Some knits are stretched during manufacturing. Washing and drying returns them to the original size. This is normal. Check quality of garment before buying. Follow fabric care label directions carefully.
