recommendations.
As a general
rule, if wool can be hand washed, it can be "washed"
by soaking in the washer. A liquid detergent
is
preferred
because it dissolves faster in soak than a granulated
detergent. Pretreat woolens with liquid detelgent.
Never
use chlorine bleach.
Pretreat heavily
soiled areas by rubbing in liquid laundry
detelgent.
Let stand 30 to 60 minutes.
If clothes are heavily
soiled, use Warm Soak for greasy and oily soil. Cold Soak for flout dust, blood-stained
garments.
Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup
liquid laundry
detergent
in SOAK;
1/2 to 1 cup in Wash.
DO NOT tumhle dry jackets
or pillows containing
Kapok.
Fire hazard
may result.
NOTE: The Cycle Selector
settings indicated
here are to be used as a guide. You may find that best results
are obtained
for some of your fabrics by setting the Cycle Selector to either side of the recommended
settings.
