permissible, hand washing is recommended. In either case, do not use hot water. Cool or cold water
is recommended. For machine washing, do not wash with colored articles. Use a gentle washing
cycle. Do not use fabric softener. For hand washing, gently rub a small amount of washing detergent
into the soaked garment. Wash thoroughly and carefully without force. When finished, use hands to6
press out excess water. Do not use a dryer, nor allow to dry in direct sunlight. For best results, place

To remove grease stains, use a sponge to apply a grease solvent; then dry. Repeat if stain is still
visible. Be patient: Removing a yellow grease stain caused by age or heat may require several
applications. Do not use chlorine, peroxygen bleach, or sodium perborate on this garment.
