Permanent Press
Permanent or durable press garments and household
items will usually not need pressing when washed and
dried properly. However, some will be more wrinkle
resistant than others.
The care needed for permanent press is a little
different than for cottons. Permanent press garments
will soften or become pliable when heated. This
softening when it is in warm or hot wash water will
allow wear wrinkles to be removed. It will also cause
the fabric to wrinkle if it is crushed, squeezed or spun
when hot.
Permanent press cycles of washers, when washer
controls are properly set, will cool the clothes before
the wash spin to avoid wrinkling.
How to Wash Permanent Press
1. Wash often. Permanent press clothes tend to look
clean even when they should be washed.
2. Sort loads correctly (refer to Before Washing
section).
3. Do not wash with lint-shedding loads. Permanent
press attracts lint in the wash water.
4. Pre-treat grease stains and oily areas. This is
especially important for shirt collars and cuffs.
Rub liquid detergent or a paste of detergent into the
area.
5. Use the PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS cycle,
hot or warm water, cold rinse, and sufficient
detergent.
6. Use fabric softener in the rinse water. This will
reduce the static electricity which attracts lint and
makes garments cling.
To Dry Permanent Press
For best results, permanent press should be dryer
dried. Refer to garment care labels. Ironing may be
necessary. Use low heat setting on iron or steam setting
on a steam iron.
