Special Instructions Type of Load
Knit Articles Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits
especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed from
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.
Cottons & Denim NORMAL heat. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape, smooth
seams and pockets, etc. This is especially important for blue jeans and
corduroys.
Synthetic Fibres NORMAL or PERMANENT PRESS heat. Turn inside out to prevent “pilling”
(the rolling up of the fibre ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with similar
things because they tend to attract lint. Make sure the load is large enough for
tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to minimize
wrinkling.
Wool DELICATE heat. For wool labeled “machine washable”, follow manufacturer’s
directions. For other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dryer dry loosely
knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and stretch to shape from a pattern
drawn before washing.
Lingerie
Cotton NORMAL heat.
Synthetic Fibres DELICATE heat. Use PERMANENT PRESS/KNIT cycle if your dryer has it or
TIME DRY cycle. 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. Man-made fabrics will create static
electricity if overdried. To prevent this, use fabric softener and avoid
overdrying.
Foam Rubber 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.
Elastic Body oils can cause elastic to deteriorate. Wash garments containing elastic
frequently. Elastic in such things as shorts may be dried as for fabric, but avoid
overdrying.
Spandex Most girdles today are made from Spandex. Use DELICATE heat. Do not
overdry.
Stretch Fabrics Choose heat for the most delicate fibre. These may be dried completely as they
will stretch into shape. Avoid drying with lint-shedding fabrics.
Stuffed Animals and Make sure the filling and covering are washable and can be dryer dried. Cotton
Toys filling may become lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie
toy into a pillowcase. Choose heat for most sensitive fibre. Dry enough clothes
in the load for good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH FOAM
RUBBER OR KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT.
