FABRIC HINTS
Always check garment care labels for the manufacturer’s recommendation
Blankets
• Extract most of the water from the blanket before drying.
• Place 2 to 3 towels in the Dryer and allow the Dryer to pre-heat for 10 minutes on a
HOT setting.
• Switch to the WARM setting before placing the blanket in the Dryer.
• Remove the blanket while it is still slightly damp.
• Reshape and hang out to dry.
• When dry, brush to raise the nap and press the binding with a warm iron.
Cotton T-shirts and Knit underwear
• Dry only to a slightly damp stage. If these articles are allowed to tumble too long, the
knitted cotton may shrink. This may be corrected by re-dampening or by wearing the
article.
Curtains and slip covers
• Remove from the Dryer while slightly damp.
• Iron and hang immediately.
Chenille and candlewick Bedspreads
• Dry only one bedspread at a time.
• Remove as much moisture as possible before placing the bedspread in the Dryer.
• Dry completely.
Lingerie
• Use the WARM setting.
• Remove soon after drying to minimize creasing.
• To avoid tangling, it is recommended that Nylon stockings are enclosed in a Nylon
mesh bag during drying.
Knitted synthetics
• Use the WARM setting.
• Use a dry towel as a buffer.
• As rubbing surfaces may cause small beads to form, it is advisable to turn these
articles inside out.
Corduroy

Silks, Dacrons and nylons
