Laundry Instructions: Cool or warm water wash with any commercially-available liquid detergent, tumble dry low heat or hang dry. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS. The carbon-suffused mono-filament nylon is sensitive to heat and should not be exposed to laundering heat in excess of 140 degrees F. Wash at 90^oF (Maximum), and tumble dry at low heat or hang dry. This medium weight fabric will dry very quickly.
