●
Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must use a
non-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of a high-carbonate detergent.
●
Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.
To remove
wrinkles:
.
Retumble on “Permanent Press” setting.
.
Rerinse and dry on “Permanent Press” setting.
. If unsuccessful,
retumble on high heat for 10-12 minutes and hang immediately.
. Iron carefully.
c
Send to dry cleaners for pressing.

Some
wrirddes
may remain which cannot be removed?
*N~E:
If you

good
laundry procedures and Permanent press clothes
Still COme
out
wrin~ed,
the finish may not be good quality. Also, in permanent press synthetic/
cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric can eventually wear away leaving only the
synthetic. Since it’s the cotton portion which is treated for Permanent Press, a loss or
decrease of Permanent Press performance will result.
