*CAUTION: Because cleaning fluids tend to be toxic, be sure

you are in a well ventilated room when using them. No
cleaning fluid should be used unless user is familiar with the

limitations and required cautions (usually printed on label). Use extreme
caution with flammable compounds.

Under no circumstances should fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.) be washed in washer.

**Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar

and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause
death. 

Save and refer to garment manufacturer’s care labels.
