General Nylon Fiber Care Tips
 
1.    Most items made from nylon can be machine washed and tumble dried at low temperatures. Use warm water and add a fabric softener to the final rinse cycle.
2.    Remove articles from dryer as soon as tumbling cycle is completed.
3.    If ironing is required, use warm iron. (For specific care instructions, refer to garment's sewn-in care label.)
