Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive
substances (such as wax, paint,

● You may wish to soften your

the static electricity in them
by using dryer-applied fabric
softeners or an anti-static
conditioner. We recommend
you use either a fabric softener

the manufacturer’s instructions
for those products, or try a
dryer-added product for which
the manufacturer gives written
assurance on the package that
their product can be safely used
in your dryer.
