*Caution: Because cleaning fluids tend to be toxic, be sure you

are in a well ventilated room when using them. No cleaning
fluid should be used unless user is familiar with the limitations

and required cautions (usually printed on label). Use extreme caution
with flammable compounds.

Under no circumstances should fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.) be washed in washer.

**Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as 

vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas 
which may cause death. 

Save and refer to garment manufacturer’s care labels.
