Washonlyif recommended bythe garment manufacturer. Followinstructions carefully.
Washin your washer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer.
Washfrequently to fluff up the down and retain the garment’s warmth. Wash separately. Wet

garment is dry. Treat heavilysoiled areas with liquid detergent or paste made of water and
granular detergent. Close zippers, Wash2or 3at atime or add towelsto balance, GARMENT
MUST BETUMBLE DRIED.
Youmayprefer to use amild-type detergent. Do babyclothes separately. Pretreat spots. Rinse
diapers, nightgowns,pads and sheets after use. Keepdiapers in acoveredpail of cold water and
conditioningagent like Borateem brand.
Youmayprefer to use amild-type detergent. Do hand-knit garments byhand.
Fill washer, add detergent and allow to dissolve before adding blanket. Do one blanket at a
time. Pretreat heavily soiled spots with liquid detergent.
Onelectric blanket, sew astrong piece of cloth over plug to protect blanket and washer from
~amage.Do one blanket at atime. Pretreat heavily soiled spots with liquid detergent.
Vacuumout loose dirt before washing.
If unusually soiled, use Normal Wash/SpinSpeed.
Washonly 2or 3rugs or mats at one time. Shake before washing to removeexcess dirt.
Por new “indigo blue” jeans, wash at least 3times in very small loads with full water fill. Jeans
need ample room to moveto avoid white lines at creases. May discolor plastic washer parts.
Subsequent washings will reduce discoloration, but will probably never eliminate it. The
‘-~FLuFF(NOHeat)
stained pafls will not discolor subsequent washing loads.’ -

The followingrecommendations
willtemporarilydelaythe effects
oflimestoneon yourclothes.
These are generallygoodwashing
practices and willgive better soil
removalwhether or not youhave
hard water or usecarbonate
detergent.
@Use hotter washwater, for
exampleup to 150°F.for cottons.
This also improvesoily-soil
removal.
@If you wash in cooler water to
saveenergy, use more detergentto
promote better washing.Also be
sure to use bleach on bleachable
fabrics. Use hot water whenever
possible.
@Add detergent and allow washer
to fill and agitatefor three or four
minutes to dissolvedetergent
before adding clothes.
QIr]creaseamount ofdetergent.

How to partially restore clothes
Once clotheshavedeveloped
deposits,they maybe partially
restored bysoakingin asolution
oftwo cups of vinegarin onegallon

USE APLASTIC CONTAINER.
Then washclothes in the washer
usingdetergent.
~Do notusevix~egarsoak
