Diapers
When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add detergent to load.
Avoid overuse of fabric softeners. Absorbency will be reduced.
1. Rinse immediately. Soak in a solution of lukewarm water and
a small amount of detergent until you are ready to wash them.
You may wish to use bleach or a special soaking product
when soaking.
2. Spin excess water from diapers before washing.
3. Wash diapers as you would wash white cottons and linens.
Elastic, spandex Elastic picks up oilfrom the body. Oil can damage elastic. Wash
often to help reduce the damage. Use warm water and sufficient
detergent to remove oils.
Flame-retardant Items will be clearly labeled as flame-retardant. Follow
clothing manufacturer's instructionsto retain flame retardant qualities.
Fiberglass Do not wash fiberglass materials in your washer. Glass particles
materials could stickto the next load and cause skin irritation.
Knits
Pillows, stuffed
toys
Plastic, rubber
items
Quilts, bedspreads
Scatter rugs
Snowsuits, jackets,
etc.
Knitsare comfortable to wear because they stretch. However,
this means that knits are more likely to be stretched and dam-
aged when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of
synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon,and acrylic tend to
keep their original shape more than a knit made of cotton or
ramie.
1. Close zippers, fasten hooks and eyes to prevent snagging.
2. Wash small loads to reduce pillingand lint.
Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless they are
dryer dried.
1. Add detergent, then partially fill washer with water; agitate
untildetergent isdissolved.
2. Place two pillowson opposite sides of the agitator to balance
the load.
3. Allow washer to fill completely and continue through the cycle.
4. Stop the washer occasionally to press air from item(s) being
washed.
Treat as delicate items. Wash in warm water. Wash small items
in a mesh beg.
Do not wash cotton-filledcomforters unless they are quilted or
stitched; tucked cotton batting tends to slip and become lumpy.

2.
Shake or vacuum to remove loose dirt.
Wash more than one small rug at a time. If you wash only one
rug, add bath towels to balance the load. A larger rug should
be distributed around the agitator to balance the load.
1. Wash only one or two items at a time. Load evenly around the
agitator.
2. Stop the washer occasionally to press air from item(s) being
washed.
3.
Two rinses may be necessary.
