Fabric Care:

Cotton is highly washable but can be prone to shrinking.
Linen is highly washable but also prone to shrinking and wrinkling. Air dry or press immediately after washing, while still damp, to eliminate wrinkles.
Nylon is also highly washable, but prone to static. Air drying will prevent static.
Polyester is highly machine washable and can be machine dried on medium- or low-heat.
Rayon and viscose are not highly washable. Always dry-clean rayon and viscose clothes.
Silk is highly prone to color loss and to water staining. Silk, despite its water-averse reputation, silk doesn't benefit from overexposure to water, and keep the water temperature consistent.
Spandex is machine washable, but it can hold onto odors, which means that it should be dried on a low-heat setting or air dried.
Wools, including cashmere and merino, are prone to felting and shrinking when washed. It's best to hand-wash woolens in cool water and allow them to air dry, flat.
Blends should be washed according to the instructions for the more sensitive fabric.

Cycle Speed:

Cycle speed refers to the speed and force at which clothes are agitated in the wash and spin cycles.

Regular cycle in which both the wash cycle, and the spin cycle, which extrudes water from the clothes post-rinsing, are fast.
Permanent press is a fast/slow cycle, meaning that the wash cycle is fast and the spin cycle is slow.
Delicate cycle is a slow/slow cycle, and the one that should be used for fine or delicate fabrics.

Drying Settings:

Regular: The highest heat setting, best used only for heavy items like jeans, sweatshirts and towels.
Permanent Press: The medium-heat setting, with a cool-down period at the end designed to reduce wrinkling.
Delicate: The low-heat setting, which is sometimes obviously labeled low-heat dry. Low-heat drying is also great for garments that tend to retain smells even after washing, like yoga pants or sweat-wicking shirts.
Tumble Dry: The no-heat setting, which is sometimes called no heat or air dry.
Air and Line Drying: A great choice for deodorizing and brightening whites, keeping gym clothes odor-free, making clothes last longer.
