Pillows
Feather and Down-Filled
Fibre-Filled (polyester)
Foam Rubber
Ticking must be strong and seams secure. If in doubt, sew pillow into a case or
use a zippered pillowcase to prevent feathers from coming out. After washing,
shake pillow to fluff feathers. Dry one large or two smaller pillows. Use TIME
DRY cycle. Use LOW or MEDIUM heat setting if it is available on your dryer.
Shake and reposition pillows several times during drying. Pillows must be dry
in the center to prevent mildew. Drying may take two hours or longer. Reset
dryer timer if necessary. The odor of wet feathers is not pleasant. However, the
odor will disappear once the pillows dry.
Follow manufacturer’s directions.
Do not dry in the dryer.
Quilts
Choose heat and cycle for fabric. Filling and cover must be completely
washable. Old quilts may be too fragile to machine wash or dry. Quilts filled
with cotton may become lumpy. Quilting should be close together. Remove from
dryer slightly damp and stretch gently to shape. Quilted articles may shrink if
overdried.
Rugs
Cotton With Cotton Backing
Rubber-backed
Synthetic Fibres
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Dry one large or several small

rubber-like materials are flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY
FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS WITH HEAT.
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Follow manufacturer’s suggestions. Some of
these rugs are heat sensitive and should be removed from the dryer when damp,
or dried with no heat.
Slip Covers
Choose heat for fabric. Close zippers. Dry one couch cover, two chair covers or
five or six pillow covers at one time. Remove from dryer when slightly damp.
Press pleats if necessary and replace on furniture immediately. Stretch fabrics
and knits should be dried completely so they will fit snug when replaced on
furniture.
Stuffed Animals and Toys
Make sure the filling and covering are washable and can be dryer dried. Cotton
filling may become lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie
toy into a pillowcase. Choose heat for most sensitive fibre. Dry enough clothes
in the load for good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH FOAM
RUBBER OR KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT.
