AND “NO-IRON”
ITEMS
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
● Relamtion shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched
and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into
shape after each wash and dry cycle.
. Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is
gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been
Iaundeti many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for Relmtion Sue above.
s Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heat-
shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to
shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by
washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
● Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang
them immediately.
● Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.
● Too fe
w
items in d~er. Ifdwing only One afiicle, add two or more similar articles, even
if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
● Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy pemanent press items, such as work clothes,
with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not wash or dry
Permanent Press with regular laundry.
● Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent Press
loads should always be smaller than regular loads..
.no more than medium loads.
. Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle which provides
a cool-down rinse to minimize
wrin~ing. Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.
● Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium level or half full
for small load.
. Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm
water with plenty of detergent.
