Washfrequentlyto fluffupthe down and retain the garment’swarmth. Washseparately.Wet

garment is dry.Treat heavily soiled areas with liquid detergent or paste made of water and
granular detergent. Close zippers. Wash 2 or 3 at a time or add towels to balance.
GARMENTMUST BE TUMBLEDRIED.
Youmay prefer to use a mild type detergent. Do babyclothes separately, Pretreat spots.
Rinse diapers, nightgowns,pads and sheets after use. Keep diapers in a covered pail of cold
water and conditioningagentlike Borateem brand.
Youmay prefer to use a mildtype detergent. Do hand-knitgarments by hand.
Fill washer,add detergent,allowto dissolve before addingblanket. Do oneblanket at a time.
Pretreat heavily soiled spots with liquid detergent. -
On electric blanket, sew a strong piece of cloth over plug to protect blanket and washer from
damage. Do one blanketat a time: Pretreat heavily s6iled spots with liquiddete~ent.
Vacuumout loose dirt beforewashing.
Washonly 2 or 3 rllgs or matsat one time. Shake before washing to remove excess dirt.
For ncw “indigo blue”jeans, wash at least 3 times in very small loads with full water fill.
Jeans need ample room to moveto avoi(i white lines at creases. May discolor plastic washer
parts. Subsequent washings will reduce discolorations, but will probably never eliminate it.

Thisillustration, with clothesjust
reaching the Clothes Retaining
Ring, shows a proper load. Clothes
have ample room to move because
they are not packed down, nor
wrapped around the agitator.
Clothes are loaded dry since wet
items are apt to pack down which
encourages overloading. This size
load requires a full water fill.

Save tiIne9energy and
detergent by avoiding extra use of
the washer. Try to wash a full load
of clothes. If you can it is better to
save clothes until you have a full
load. If you must wash sma]ler
loads. save water, energy and

level for the size of the load. See

Good washing practices
may delaylimestonedamage
toclothes
The following recommendations
will temporarily delay the effects
of limestone on your clothes.
These are generally good washing
practices and will give better soil
removal whether or not you have
hard water or use carbonate
detergent.
eUse hotter wash water,for
example Llpto 150”F.for cottons.
This also improves oily-soil
removal.
~If you wash in cooler water to
save energy, use more detergent to
promote better washing, Also be
sure to use bleach on bleachable
fabrics, Use hot water whenever
possible.
QAdd detergent and allow washer
to fil~and agitate for three or four
minutes to dissolve detergent
before adding clothes.

Hard water—
doyouhave it?
Beforeyou can decidewhat to do
abouthard water, you need to
know if you have it and,if so, how
hard it is.
~Ifyou; livein a municipalarea,
contactyour water company.
~If you live in a rural area, or in
somesuburban areas,contactyour
countyagent.
The answer will be “youhave ‘so
many grains’ per gallon”and
meansthis:
Oto 3 grains—SOFT
4 to 10grains—HARD
11to 19grains—VERYHARD
ZOgrains and over_
EXTREMELY HARD
If yourwater is SOFT,you haveno
problem.Youcan use soap or
Detergentas you prefer and forget
all abouthard water.If you have
HARD water—lessthan 10
grains—and you use phosphate
detergent,yoLlalsohaveno
problem.
But, if you have morethan 10
grains,you will need to soften

*Relaxationshrinkagecan occLlrin knitfabricsthat havebeen improperlystretched

*Progressive or delayed

above.
~
~hri~~kagecaused by overheatingoccurs in certain knit fabricsthathave been heat-
shaped. When washing, dryingor ironingtemperaturesexceed the temperaturesused to
shape set, shrinkagemay occur.This cannotbe corrected,but it can be prevented by
washing in cool or warm water and drying on Low or Delicate heat.
~Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove and hang clothes immediately.
*Too many clothes in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combineloads.
*Improper loads. Avoid launderingheavy PermanentPress items, such as work
clothes, with lighter Permanent Press items such as shirtsor blouses. Do not wash
Permanent Press with regular laundry.
~Too many clothes in washer. Permanent Press loads should alwaysbe smaller than
regul~ loads...no more than medium loadsto
giveclothes room to move freely.
