PROBLEM

KNITS

PERMANENT PRESS
AND “NO-IRON”
ITEMS

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

● 

 shrinkage 

can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched

and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into
shape after each wash and dry cycle.

Progressive or delayed shrinkage 

is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is

gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been

 many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for 

 

 above.

 Shrinkage caused by overheating 

occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been 

shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to
shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by
washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.

● 

Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang

them immediately.

● 

Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

● 

Too fe

items in 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 or more similar articles, even

if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

● 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 items, such as work clothes,

with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not wash or dry
Permanent Press with regular laundry.

● 

Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent Press

loads should always be smaller than regular loads.. 

 more than medium loads.

. Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle which provides
a cool-down rinse to minimize 

 Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.

● 

Incorrect 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 medium level or half full
