Cotton and Linen Fabrics--These items should be washed in full loads because the tumble action of the tub along with the gentle rubbing, lifting and falling movement of the clothes gives the best cleaning result. Permanent Press Fabrics--These items need more room to move freely during washing for the most wrinkle-free results. Delicate Fabrics--These fabrics, such as machine washable wool and silk, should only be washed in one-third size loads for the best results. CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS Most clothes and other washable items have permanent care labels. Care label instructions and warnings should be followed for the best cleaning results. The table below defines the typical symbols used on fabric care labels.
