PROBLEM

SHRINKAGE,

KNITS

WRINKLING IN

PERMANENT PRESS

AND “NO-IRON”

ITEMS

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

●

Relaxation shrinkage

can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched

and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into

shape after each wash and dry cycle.

●

Progressive or delayed shrinkage

is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is

gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been

laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for Relaxation

S-e

above.

●

Shrinkage caused by overheating

occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been

heat-

shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to

shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by

washing in cold or warm water.

Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang

them immediately.

Too many items in dryer. Dry 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 insure proper tumbling.

●

Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as work clothes,

with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not wash or dry

Permanent Press with regular laundry.

●

Too many clothes in washer. Items must 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 which provides

a cool-down rinse to minimize

wrin~ing.

Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.

●

Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium

ievel

or half full

for small load.

●

Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with plenty of detergent.
