Summer Pin Wheel Quilt

TQCO-0823-012 

Machine wash: Wash on gentel cycle using gentler fabric detergents.  Some quilts might bleach in the machine, so you can try adding a color catcher and a Retayne to your washing water.  

Machine dry until your quilt is slightly damp, then continue  air drying outside.

Hand wash:  Before hand-washing, ensure that the sink or tub you use is very clean. Fill the tub with cold water and add some detergent (perfume-free and dye-free.) Dip your quilt in water and ensure all parts of it are totally submerged. Keep tumbling the quilt once in a while for about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the soapy water and refill the tub with fresh water. Add distilled white vinegar (1/2 cup) to the water.  This will rid any residue left behind by the detergent.  It will also ensure the colors appear bright and ensure the quilt remains soft.  

Air Dry:  Dry quilt flat to prevent the threads from snapping during drying. If you have a giant quilt rack for drying making sure to  support the quilt while transporting.  If not, prepare a bed of thick towels and spread it out nicely on them.  

Please be aware frequent washing will fade the fabric in most quilts.
