only 

if recommended by the garment manufacturer.

 frequently to fluff up the down and retain the garment’s warmth. Wash separately. Wet

down gives off an odor which may be absorbed by other garments. Odor disappears when
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.
GARMENT MUST BE TUMBLE DRIED.

 Speed.

For new “indigo blue” jeans, wash at least 3 times in very 

 loads with full water 

Jeans need ample room to move to avoid white lines at creases. May discolor plastic washer
parts. Subsequent washings will reduce discoloration, but will probably never eliminate it.
The stained parts will not discolor subsequent washing loads.

Tumble on FLUFF (No Heat).

Pillows are made of different 

 fiber, foam, polyester, natural feathers and

down. Many pillows can be machine washed, but 

 care labels 

 

carefully. If washing is recommended, check pillows for weak seams or holes and mend to
prevent escape of feathers or filling, Fill washer, add detergent and agitate for several minutes
to dissolve detergent. Add two pillows at a time to balance load. Use high water level.
