Follow directions for comparable knits.
•
Button sweaters and turn inside out.
•
Stretch to shape after washing.
•
Avoid pulling when wet.
•
Unless labeled "machine washable," wash by hand.

be washed.

Do not wash with lint-shedding loads.
•
Pretreat grease stains and oily areas.

Use the PERM PRESS cycle, hot or warm water, cold rinse and sufficient

build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them.
If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as
they should be, take corrective measures
immediately.
Add more detergent to washtub before loading clothes. Mild
detergents are not suitable for average soil.
Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled items.
Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and
pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is white
and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved soil. Use
sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach may be
needed.
To test if an iron stain, use a rust remover on a portion of the
garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be whitened.
No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always measure and
dilute bleach. Take extra care to avoid unwanted spilling.
Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from
pockets.
