PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
WRINKLING IN
PERMANENT PRESS
AND "NO-IRON"
ITEMS
• Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops• Remove clothes immediately and place
on hangers when diner stops tumbling.
• Too many items in dlTer. DtT only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads•
• Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar articles,
even if dry, to ensure proper rambling.
.Improper sorting of load. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as
work clothes, with lighter Permanent Press items such as shirts or blouses• Also, do
not wash or dlT Permanent Press items with ordinal T items such as towels, bed linens,
etc.
• Too many items in washer. Items nmst have room to move freely• Permanent Press
loads should always be smaller than regular loads.., no more than medium loads•
• Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles• Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle• This cycle
provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use Permanent Press Dry
Cycle•
• Incorrect water level. Use large water level for Medium Load; medium level for
Small Load.
• Washing repeatedly in water that is too hot for the fabric. Wash these fabrics in cool
or warm water with plenty of detergent•
•Accunmtation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents• If a non-phosphate
detergent nmst be used, avoid the use of a carbonate-built detergent•
• Failure to use fabric softener• Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.
To correct wrinkling--
Steps to remove stubborn wrinkles:
1. Retumble on "Permanent Press" setting with small load,
2. Rerinse and dry on "Permanent Press" setting•
3. Some wrinkles may remain, these wrinkles cannot be removed. *
• NOTE: If you follow good laundry procedures and Permanent Press clothes still come out wrinkled, the
finish may not be good quality• Also, in permanent press synthetic/cotton blends, the cotton portion of the
fabric can eventually wear away leaving only the synthetic• Since the cotton has a resin finish that imparts
the memory, a loss or decrease of permanent press performance will result•
