Washer Use and Care

How to Wash Permanent Press

1. Sort loads correctly. Refer to Before Washing section.

2. Do not wash with lint-shedding loads. Permanent press attracts lint in the wash water.

3. Pretreat grease stains and oily areas. This is especially important for shirt collars and cuffs.

Rub liquid detergent or a paste of detergent into the area.

4. Use the PERMANENT PRESS cycle, hot or warm water, cold rinse, and sufficient detergent.

5. Use fabric softener in the dispenser. This will reduce the static electricity which attracts lint and makes garments cling.

To Dry Permanent Press

For best results, permanent press should be dried in the dryer. Refer to garment care labels. Ironing may be necessary. Use low heat setting on iron or steam setting on a steam iron.

Stain Removal

Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly.

Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove.

Hot water will set some stains, particularly proteinbased stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in hot water.

WARNING

Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-cleaning solvents, etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such substances into a washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, and/or serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be thoroughly hand-washed with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains. The articles can then be machine washed and/or dried.

When using any kind of a dry-cleaning fluid, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The fumes should never be inhaled. Use in a well ventilated room away from sparks and flames. Air dry before washing or drying. Dry-cleaning fluid may cause a “ring” to be formed on some permanent press fabrics. This will not wash out. To remove, clean the garment in a coinoperated dry-cleaning unit, or by a professional dry-cleaner.
