Helpful Tips
To make laundry day even easier, Whirlpool offers these tips on handling delicate fabrics and stains this season:
• For washable embellished items, consult your fabric care label first, then wash on the Delicate or Handwash cycle with cold water temperature selected and low spin speed. Remove the item from the washer and lay flat to dry on a clean towel, taking care not to stretch the fabric. Adjust the embellishments as needed to reorient them to their original position or shape.
• With wine stains, it’s important to react quickly. Once the stain dries, it will be more difficult to remove. First, check the care label to be sure the item is machine washable. Rinse the stain well in running water to dilute it. If you cannot wash the garment while it is still wet, soak it in cool water with a bit of detergent until it can go into the washer.
Wash the garment on the warmest temperature safe for the fabric. Remove the garment from the washer and allow it to air-dry if the stain appears to be removed. If the stain remains, repeat the process using a color-safe bleach.
Fashion-Forward Fabric Care
Not only creating innovative technology to streamline the fashion fabric care process, Whirlpool recently co-sponsored Strut, The Fashionable Mom Show during New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
As part of the show, each model “strutted” on behalf of a charity. Two Whirlpool ambassadors modeled on behalf of Whirlpool Corporation’s charity, Habitat for Humanity
