Type of Load
Blankets
Wool Agitation and tumbling contribute to the shrinkage and felting of wool. We
cannot guarantee that wool will not shrink. However, if care is taken and the
blanket manufacturer's instructions are followed, satisfactory results should be
obtained. Wash by the soak method with as little agitation as possible. After
washing, stretch blanket gently in both directions. Heat dryer at REGULAR heat
with about five dry bath towels. Place towels between folds in blanket. This will
“cushion" it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for 20 minutes on the TIME DRY
cycle. Check blanket when timer reaches 10. Wool blankets must be removed
from the dryer when damp. Stretch gently to shape and finish drying over two
clothes lines or in a flat position.
Electric DELICATE heat. If dryer drying is recommended by the manufacturer, dry as
for wool. Do not stretch the blanket because of the wiring. Some electric
blankets may have an insulation on the the thermostats or on the wiring which
will not withstand dryer heat. Do not dryer dry unless the blanket manufacturer
says it can be done.
Thermal Cotton REGULAR heat.
Synthetic Fibers DELICATE heat. Some of these blankets are fluffy and wilt shed lint. Tumble
on NO HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint. Use a gentle wash
method, then dry in dryer until just dry. The lint filter may need to be cleaned
during the drying.
Quilts CHOOSE HEAT FOR FABRIC. Riling and oovar roust be complete^
iwasbaWe^.Old qullts may be too Jragile to machine: wash., Dtdiy,. QuiitS:fifted
with cotton may become lumpy; Quilttog should be dose k>gettier. Remove from
dryer slightly damp and stretch gently to shape. Quitted artictes may shrink
if overdried. ' ' '
Pillows
Feather and
Down-Filled
REGULAR heat. 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. 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.
