Chenille and tufted spreads will shed lint and should be dried by themselves. New spreads will contain loose lint. Tumble on NO HEAT Fabric Selector setting before washing to remove loose lint. Dry completely. Blankets Electric • • • • Choose DELICATE or NO HEAT Fabric Selector setting. If drying items in dryer is recommended by the manufacturer, dry as for wool.
Type of Load Draperies Knit Articles Special Instructions • • • • 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 fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed from them.
Type of Load Mattress Pads Special Instructions • • • Read and carefully follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the mattress pad manufacturer. Some mattress 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 mattress pads from the dryer while they are still damp. Pillows Feather and Down-Filled • • • Ticking must be strong and seams secure.
