Nylon: Most fabrics made from nylon can be machined washed and tumbled dried
at low temperatures. Use warm water and add a fabric softener to the
final rinse cycle. To minimize static electricity use a dyer sheet when
machine drying. Remove articles from the dyer as soon as the tumbling
cycle is completed. If ironing is required, use a warm iron.
