There is a washing procedure that we need to know while washing the garments, as wrong treatment can damage the clothes. Here is washing procedure that you need to know before you wash the clothes.
NYLON, ORLON AND DACRON, are newer than rayon or acetate. They are spun by chemical and mechanical processes of an intricate nature from chemical elements found in such improbable materials as coal, air, water, petroleum, natural gas, (in the case of Orion) limestone.
Nylon, Orion and Dacron are versatile, no-ironing-needed, fibers. They share traits in common, yet each has its own characteristic qualities. They are lightweight but very strong, and resistant to moths and mildew. Cooperative in blends with other fibers, they contribute valuable qualities that might otherwise be lacking. They can be woven in super sheers, knits, pile fabrics, and sturdy materials suitable for work clothes. Dyes, finishes, and trim may make some clothing, fashioned of these fibers, unwashable; always look to the labeL If instructions for washable garments of nylon, Orion and Dacron are not given on the label, or if the label has been lost, use the procedure which follows, quoted verbatim from information supplied by the manufacturer of these three fibers, ?. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Delaware:
"PREWASHING INSTRUCTIONS. Just as for other washable garments, severely soiled areas generally require pretreatment with a thick paste made of a soap or detergent and water. Rub the paste thoroughly into the soiled areas, using the fingers or a soft brush. Soaking in suds, prior to washing for ten to fifteen minutes, has also been found to be helpful in severe soil removal. For spot or stain removal, follow normal procedures for other washable fabrics.
"WASH WHITE GARMENTS SEPARATELY from colored or pastel garments and when possible wash white synthetics together. Frequent washing, preferably after each wearing, gives greater satisfaction. " WASHING PROCEDURE. Wash garments thoroughly either by hand or machine in warm suds (100'F.) of a heavy duty detergent, or soap and non-precipitating water softener such as Calgon or Tex or a similar product. In using these agents, follow explicitly their manufacturer's instructions on quantity and when to use. The use of soft water cannot be overemphasized.
"Consult washing machine manufacturers' instructions for washing times.
"In general, machine washing affords the best method for removal of stubborn soil.
"Fabrics of delicate construction or trim, in most instances, should be hand washed. If they are machine washed, enclosing them in a mesh laundry bag is suggested for added protection. If the machine is equipped with a special fabric cycle, it can be used for this type of garment.
"HIGH TEMPERATURES (in washing, rinsing, or drying), twisting, wringing, and spinning, tend to cause wrinkling. Minimize these as much as practical in either hand or machine washing.
"BLEACHING, BLUING, or optical whitening agents (brighteners) may be used on many white garments. For their use on specific articles of clothing, observe the garment manufacturers' washing instructions. Also follow explicitly the directions on the containers of these agents for quantity and when to use.
"RINSE GARMENTS THOROUGHLY in water to remove all traces of dirt, soap, or detergent. The addition of a water softener in the first rinse is helpful when soft water is not available.
"DRIP DRYING. For drip drying, following machine washing, allow the garment to go through the recommended washing and rinsing cycles and remove before the final spin drying cycle. Place the garment while wet on a non-staining hanger and allow it to drip dry. Smooth the seams, cuffs, etc., with the fingers while the garment is still wet. Knit garments such as sweaters should be laid out flat to dry.

It is important to know the washing procedure while washing the fabrics, as different fabrics they need different treatment. See the label of your clothes on some instruction to clean your garments.
Your drums are not just instruments that you set on a stage and play, and then take home again for practice without ever touching them for maintenance or cleaning. The truth is, if you don't want to take the time to clean them and keep them properly tuned, you are not true to your trade. Depending on the type of drums that you have, there way be variations on the maintenance that the manufacturer recommends. How you care for your set depends also on the material from which it is made.
So, if there isn't a rule regarding drum care, what do you do? As with your clothing, you follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. When you buy a new outfit, you check the label for laundering instructions ? or you should ? and the same is true of your drum set. Cymbals for the most part can be cleaned with a window cleaner, but how you clean your drums needs to be depends upon a variety of factors including material of the skins and of the outside. Steel is not recommended, though sometimes used, and there will be a different method than other material, which is usually simply soap and water or even glass cleaner for a shine.
As a drummer, you should be proud of your skins and want to keep them clean in between performances. It doesn't take more than perhaps a half hour a day to keep your set looking in top condition, but you want to make sure that you know exactly what you need to do before you even take the set home. If you order your drum set online, be sure you read all of the instructions regarding care and maintenance before you ever set up the kit, because some kits require oiling before you ever use the drums for the first time. Failing to do that when required can result in your drums sounding out of tune or not blending in with the rest of the musical instruments in the band.
Bear in mind that your drums are a major investment, and if you want them to last you for years to come, you have to take the time to take care of them from the day you first own them. You do not simply leave them to collect dust when you are not using them nor do you only take them in for maintenance when they don't sound as good as they did when they were new. Regular cleaning and routine maintenance will be your drum kit looking and sounding new for many years to come. It is unnecessary to buy a new set every few years if you take care of what you have from the start.
