PROBLEM

 

 

PERMANENT 

 “NO-IRON” 

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● 

Relaxation shrinkage can 

occur in knit fabrics that have 

 improperly

stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. 

 this occurs, garment may

be pressed back 

 shape after each wash and dry cycle.

● 

 or delayed shrinkage is 

caused when starch or 

 (in some

fabrics) is 

 removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments

that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat   for
Relaxation Shrinkage above.

● 

Shrinkage caused by overheating 

occurs in certain knit fabrics 

 have

been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed 
temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This 

 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 

 washer load at a time. Do not

combine loads.

● 

Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar

articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press 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 . . .
no more than medium loads.

● 

Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press wash cycle

which provides a 

 rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use Permanent

Press drying cycle.

● 

Incorrect water level. Use high water level for medium 

 medium level

for small load.

● 

Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with

plenty of detergent.

● 

Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must

use a non-phosphate detergent, avoid 

 use of a high-carbonate detergent.

● 

Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will

minimize wrinkling.
