Question

Select the incorrect pair:

Options

• Delicate fabrics - Hand wash

• Wool - Gentle cycle, cold water

• Cotton and Linen - Hot water, tumble dry

• Synthetic fabrics - Mild detergent, air dry

Answer 1

Synthetic fabrics - Mild detergent, air dry

Explanation:

This pair is incorrect because synthetic fabrics (like polyester and nylon) are highly heat-sensitive yet quick-drying and durable, meaning they are universally tumble-dried on a low heat setting rather than needing to be air-dried. All other options are correct pairs because delicate fabrics require a gentle hand wash, wool must be washed in cold water to prevent shrinking, and sturdy fabrics like cotton and linen can easily handle hot water and tumble drying.
