WARNING
Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, vegetable oils, cooking oils,
etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such substances into a
washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, and/or
serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be thoroughly hand-washed
with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains. The articles can then be
machine washed and/or dried.
When using any kind of a dry-cleaning fluid, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The fumes
should never be inhaled. Use in a well ventilated room away from sparks and flames. Air dry before
washing or drying. Dry-cleaning fluid may cause a “ring” to be formed on some permanent press
fabrics. This will not wash out. To remove, clean the garment in a coin-operated dry-cleaning unit, or
by a professional dry-cleaner.

water will set some stains, particularly protein based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in
hot water.
