Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits
especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed from them.
It is best to take them out of the dryer with a trace of moisture remaining, then stretch
to shape. If they do shrink from overdrying, rewet them and dry properly.
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize
ironing. Reshape, smooth seams and pockets, etc.
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS cycle. Turn
inside out to prevent "pilling" (the rolling up of the fiber ends from friction). Dry
sweaters only with similar things because they tend to attract lint. Make sure the load
is large enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to
minimize wrinkling.
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. For wool labeled "machine washable", follow
manufacturer's directions. For other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dryer dry
loosely knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and stretch to shape from a pattern
drawn before washing.
AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle.
Body oils can cause elastic to deteriorate. Wash garments containing elastic
frequently. Elastic in such things as shorts may be dried as for fabric, but avoid
overdrying.
Bras, bathing suits, sun suits, etc. DO NOT DRY THESE ITEMS IN THE DRYER
WITH HEAT, FIRE MAY RESULT. NO HEAT setting may be used.
Most girdles (control briefs or shapers) today are made from Spandex. Use
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Do not overdry.
Choose heat for the most delicate fiber. These may be dried completely as they will
stretch into shape. Avoid drying with lint-shedding fabrics.
TIME DRY cycle. Use a DELICATE heat setting. Some sheer fabrics, especially
sheer knits, can be heat sensitive. Dry these until they are just dry (about 10 minutes)
and remove from dryer immediately. Sheer fabrics should not be washed and dried
with garments containing hooks or zippers. Man-made fabrics will create static
electricity if overdried. To prevent this, use fabric softener and avoid overdrying.
The material in mattress pads is made of either cotton or synthetic fibers. Read the
fiber content label, found on your mattress pad, to determine what type of fiber was
used to manufacture the pad. READ AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW the fabric care
instructions supplied by the mattress pad manufacturer. Some pads made of synthetic
fibers are very heat sensitive. These pads can be flammable if over-heated or over-
dried. TO AVOID A FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT OVER-DRY mattress pads. Remove
pads from the dryer while they are still damp.
