Draperies
Remove hooks and weights before washing. Choose heat for fabric and allow 
space in the dryer for tumbling. Some draperies may be removed when slightly 
damp and hung immediately. Lined draperies should be dry-cleaned because 
they have a tendency to pucker.
Knit Articles
Cottons
Synthetic Fibers
Wool
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.
Lingerie
Cotton
Elastic
Foam Rubber
Spandex
Stretch Fabrics
Synthetic Fibers
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 or LOW HEAT setting, if it is available. 
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.
Mattress Pads
The materials 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.
