Possible Causes What To Do
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying.
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular
item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
Follow directions on fabric softener package.
Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty items can stain clean
items and the dryer.
Sometimes stains which cannot be seen when the clothes are
wet appear after drying. Use proper washing procedures before
drying.
Clean lint screen before each load.
Sort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors (like corduroy).
See suggestions in this section under Static occurs.
Separate large loads into smaller ones.
Empty all pockets before laundering clothes.
