CAuSwSOLunONs
Remove kerns while there is still a
trace of moisture. Some items should
be removed while damp, then shaped
and air dried.
Some knits are stretched during
manufacturing. Washing and drying
returns them to the original size. This is
normal. Check quality of garment
before buying. Folbw fabric care label
directions carefully.
Slow drying
There is a large amount of
moisture in the bad to be dried
Cold rinse water is used
Some items hold more moisture than
others (cottons more than polyester).
They take bnger to dry. Full bads take
bnger to dry than small bads of the
same fabric.
A bad rinsed in cold water will take
slightly bnger to dry than a warm one.
Cold rinses, however, help save
energy and reduce wrinkling more than
warm rinses do.
Room air temperature is below
Install dryer in a room where the air
45°F (7%)
temperature is warmer than 45°F (7°C).
Cold air increases drying time and may
CiuIse wrinkles not to be removed.
