Wash frequently to fluff up the down and retain the garment’s warmth. Wash separately. Wet
down gives off an odor which may be absorbed by other garments. Odor disappears when
garment is dry. Treat heavily soiled areas with liquid detergent or paste made of water and
granular detergent. Close zippers. Wash 2 or 3 at a time or add towels to balance.
GARMENT MUST BE TUMBLE DRIED.

For new “indigo blue” jeans, wash at least 3 times in very small loads with full water
fill.
Jeans need ample room to move to avoid white lines at creases. May discolor plastic washer
parts. Subsequent washings will reduce discoloration, but will probably never eliminate
it.
The stained parts will not discolor subsequent washing loads.
Tumble
on FLUFF (No Heat).
Pillows are made of different
materials~acron, fiber, foam, polyester, natural feathers and
down. Many pillows can be machine washed, but

carefully.
If washing is recommended, check pillows for weak seams or holes and mend to
prevent escape of feathers or filling.
Fill
washer, add detergent and agitate for several minutes
to dissolve
detergent.
Add two pillows at a time to balance
load.
Use extra
large
water level.
