RAYON IS EASY TO WASH
WASHING
Use warm, soapy water. Squeeze gently and rinse well. No rubbing or wringing. Wash rayon stockings daily. Dry thoroughly but don't iron.
Rinse a new pair before wearing the first time.
DRYING
Spread wet garments evenly over the clothes-line and dry them away from very string sunlight or artificial heat. Remember always to peg
stockings to the line by the toes.
IRONING
Use a cool iron (stand iron on newspaper for 15/20 seconds - if a scorch mark appears iron is too hot). Don't sprinkle rayons. Iron single
thickness and on wrong side of fabric avoiding buttons, seams and fastenings.
