WRINKLING IN PERMANENT PRESS AND
TO PREVENT:
"NO.lRONJ~ ITEMS
1. Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops.
1. Remove clothes immediately and place on hangers
when dryer stops tumbling.
2. Too many items in dryer.
2. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not

3. Too few items in dryer.
3. If drying only one article, add two or more similar
articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
4. Improper sorting of load.

as work clothes, with lighter Permanent Press items
such as shirts or blouses. Also do not wash or dry
Permanent Press items with ordinary items such as
towels, bed linens, etc.
5. Too many items in washer.
6. Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles.
e
7. Incorrect water level.
8. Washing repeatedly in water that is too hot for
the fabric.
9. Accumulation of lime scale due to use of
carbonate detergents.
5. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent
Press loads should always be smaller than regular
Ioads... no more than medium loads.
6. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle. This cycle
provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling.
Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle (on models
so equipped).
7. Use large water level for Medium Load; Medium level
for Small Load.
8. Wash these fabrics in cool or warm water with
plenty of detergent.
9. if a non-phosphate detergent must be used, avoid
the use of a carbonate built detergent.
10. Failure to use fabric softener.

TO CORRECT WRINKLING:
Steps to remove stubborn wrinkles:
1. Retumble on "Permanent Press" setting (on models
so equipped) with small load.
2. Rerinse and dry on "Permanent Press" setting.
3. Some wrinkles may remain, these wrinkles cannot
be removed. *
*NOTE If you follow good laundry procedures and Permanent Press clothes still come out wrinkled, the finish may
not be good quality. Also, in permanent press synthetic/cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric can eventually
wear away leaving only the synthetic. Since the cotton has resin finish that imparts the memory, a loss or decrease
Of permanent press performance will result.
