PROBLEM

 

PERMANENT 

 “NO-IRON”

ITEMS

SNAGS, HOLES,

 

 OR

EXCESSIVE WEAR

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Relaxation shrinkage can 

occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched

and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may be 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. This may also be noticed in older garments that

have been washed many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for relaxation

shrinkage above.

Shrinkage caused by overheating 

occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been

heat-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 water 

 drying on Low or Delicate heat.

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

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

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 Permanent
Press items with regular laundry.

Too many clothes in washer. Permanent Press loads should always be smaller than
regular 

 more than medium loads to give clothes room to move freely.

Repeated washing in too hot water. Wash in cold water with plenty of detergent.

Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must use
a non-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of high-carbonate-built detergent.

Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use will minimize 

To remove wrinkles:

● 

 on Permanent Press setting.

● 

 and dry on Permanent Press setting.

● 

. If unsuccessful, 

 on high heat for 10 to 12 minutes and hang immediately.

● 

Send to dry cleaners for pressing.

● 

Some wrinkles 

 remain which cannot be removed.

Pins on garments or sharp objects left in pockets. Check to make sure all such objects
are removed. Also check wash tub.

Snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, belt buckles, zippers. Fasten hooks, zippers and buttons.
Remove sharp buttons and belt buckles. This is especially important in washing knits
which snag easily. Turn knits inside out.

Holes with random square shapes with yellow discoloration may be caused by
improper use of chlorine bleach. Use only correct amount of bleach. See Other
Laundry Products section. Never add undiluted bleach to wash tub or allow clothes
to come into contact with undiluted bleach. Do not wipe up bleach spills with clothes.

Chemicals such as hair bleach, dye, permanent wave solutions, 

 acids and

toilet bowl cleaners may cause fabric holes. Rinse all towels and 

 articles that

came in contact with these chemicals before putting them in wash. Do not contaminate
clothing articles with these chemicals.
