what does the perm press do on a washing machine?
Perm Press is the compromise cycle between Regular Wash and Gentle Cycle. It's a little gentler than the regular wash and a little rougher than the Gentle Cycle. I never use it. :) In fact, I never use anything but the regular cycle. Hope this helps. -
It is for stuff that doesn't need to be ironed, like polyester. What it does is NOT spin so much water out of the fabric (because that also contributes to wrinkling). Put directly in and out of the dryer promptly is also recommended for these types of fabrics.
