Knit articles All Knits

Special Instructions
Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed form them. It is best to take them out of the dryer with a trace of moisture remaining, then stretch to shape. If they do shrink from overdrying, rewet them and dry properly. AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape, smooth seams and pockets, etc.

Cottons

Synthetic Fibers AUTOMATIC REGULAR or AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS cycle. Turn inside out to prevent �pilling� (nylon, orlon, (rolling up of the fiber ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with similar things because they tend to polyester etc.) attract lint. Make sure the load is large enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to minimize wrinkling. Wool DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. For wool labeled �machine washable� follow manufacturer�s directions. For other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dry loosely knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and stretch to shape from a pattern drawn before washing. AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Body oils can cause elastic to deteriorate. Wash garments containing elastic frequently. Elastic in such things as shorts may be dried, however avoid overdrying. Bras, bathing suits, sun suits, etc, DO NOT DRY THESE ITEMS IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT, FIRE MAY RESULT. NO HEAT setting may be used. Choose heat for the most delicate fiber. These may be dried completely as they will stretch into shape. Avoid drying with lint-shedding fabrics.

Lingerie

Cotton Elastic Foam Rubber Stretch Fabrics

Synthetic Fibers TIME DRY cycle. Use a DELICATE or LOW HEAT setting, if it is available on dryer. Some sheer fabrics, especially sheer knits, can be heat sensitive. Dry these until they are just dry (about 10 minutes) and remove from dryer immediately. Sheer fabrics should not be washed and dried with garments containing hooks or zippers. Synthetic fabrics will create static electricity if overdried. TO prevent this use fabric softener and avoid overdrying. Denim, Corduroy Rugs Cotton with Cotton Backing Rubberbacked Synthetic Fibers Stuffed Animals and Toys AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams are slightly wet to minimize shrinkage. AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Dry one large or several small rugs. For one small rug only, add towels for buffers. Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of rubber-like materials are flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS WITH HEAT. DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Follow manufacturer�s suggestions. Some of these rugs are heat sensitive and should be removed from the dryer when damp or dried with no heat. Make sure the filling and covering is washable and can be dried in the dryer. Cotton filling may become lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie toy into a pillowcase. Choose heat for most sensitive fiber. Dry enough clothes in the load for good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH FOAM RUBBER OR KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT. DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Use a drying rack or tumble with at least four old bath towels.
