inside-out.
• Turn down cuffs, brush away lint
and dirt,

avoid pilling.

not tangle.

washed promptly for best results.

lightly soiled ones, even if they would
normally be washed togethen

from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible,
turn lint-givers inside-out.

colorfast items from non-colorfast
items.

cottons, knits, delicate items).
