| Trim Care |
| Washable Trims : Cotton,
Polyester, Polypropylene, and Acrylic. |
|
| Dry Cleanable Trims :
Rayon, Acetate, Viscose, Linen, Jute, and Chenille. Match washable trims to
washable |
| fabrics, dry cleanable
trims to dry cleanable fabrics. |
|
| Beaded Tassels and Trims
: Because of their delicate nature, these items are not washable or dry
cleanable |
| and should be removed
from fabric before cleaning. |
|
| How
to wash "Washable" trims : Wash by hand in mild suds and cold
water. Rinse thoroughly in cold water |
| until water runs clear.
Air dry. |
|
| Reviving
ball fringe : The strong action of washing machine cycles may damage trims,
particularly ball and |
| tassel
fringes. If ball fringe has been abused by harsh laundering and drying, hold
a steam iron over it to revive |
| its fluffiness. |
|
| Washing
intense colors : The best quality dyes are used in trims. Yet deep colors
such as wine, chocolate |
| brown and black still
tend to "bleed". Before attaching to fabric these color should be
rinsed thoroughly in |
| lukewarm water until the
water runs clean. Air dry at once. |
|
| Dry Cleaning : For the
protection of your draperies and furnishings, be sure to use a reputable
professional |
| dry cleaner. |
|
| Trims
for shrink-controlled and permanent-press fabrics: Use shrink-controlled
trims (polyester). |
| Shrink-controlled means
the trim has been treated so that it will shrink a maximum of 3%. Although |
| shrink-controlled
articles can be machine washed and tumble-dried, never use high washer or
dryer heats. |
|
| Overall Caution : If
trims are not marked " shrink-controlled", it is advisable to wash
and pre-shrink trimmings |
| before sewing to fabric
to reduce shrinkage to the minimum. |
| It is always safer to
buy a little extra yardage to allow for shrinkage in laundering and for
joining, finishing |
| off ends or rounding
corners. To allow for shrinkage during laundering, hold fabric taut and ease
the trim in |
| loosely when sewing.
Acetate yarns are susceptible to change color. |
|
| Dyeing Caution :
Although some yarns readily accept dye, piece dyeing of product is not
recommended and |
| will
not be held responsible for product if this is attempted by the customer. For
non-stock colors please |
| contact Manufacturing
Specials Customer Service for requirements. |
