LAUNDRY TIPS

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

instructions for some special washables.

ITEM

CARE iNSTRUCTIONS

Blankets

(electric or woolen)

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.

Fiame-retardant

ciothing

Items will be clearly labeled as flame-retardant. Follow

manufacturer's instructions to retain flame-retardant qualities.

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.

Piiiows, stuffed toys

Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless they will

be dried in a dryer.

Piastic, rubber items

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

in a mesh bag.

Ouiits, 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.
