CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Knits are comfortable to wear because they stretch. However, this
means that knits are more likely to be stretched and damaged
when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of synthetic
fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to keep their
original shape more than knits made of cotton or ramie.
Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless they will be
dried in a dryer.
Treat as delicate items. Wash in warm water. Wash small items in
a mesh bag.
Do not wash cotton-filled comforters unless they are quilted or
stitched. Tucked cotton batting tends to slip and become lumpy.
An extra rinse may be necessary.
Shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose dirt. Wash more than one
rug at a time. If washing only one rug, add bath towels to balance
the load.
Wash only one or two items at a time. You may need to stop the
washer occasionally to press air from the items being washed. An
extra rinse may be necessary.
