I've always had trouble understanding the washing labels on my clothes.
Those little pictograms, logos, symbols (call them what you want) on the labels are not at all clear to me...
I have the impression that their meaning has been hidden from me forever! As a result, I often damaged my clothes... Shrunken sweaters, I know!
Fortunately, my girlfriend thought of me and made me a guide so that, finally, I can read these labels easily and avoid disasters!
Today, I share with you this practical guide that I use before every wash. Watch:
Left to right and top to bottom:
- Hand wash only
- Do not wash (neither by machine nor by hand)
- Machine wash at 30°C
- Wash at 40°C
- Wash at 60°C
- Wash at 90°C
- Bleach allowed
- Do not bleach
- Do not wring
- Normal tumble dryer program
- Dryer cold air program
- Delicate tumble dryer program
- Do not tumble dry
- Dry flat only
- Ironing at all temperatures
- Ironing up to 110°C
- Ironing up to 150°C
- Ironing up to 200°C
- Do not iron
- Dry clean only
There you go, you now know how to read all the symbols on the labels of your clothes :-)
Simple, practical and effective!
No more clothes that have shrunk in the washing machine due to the wrong washing temperature!
No more deformed clothes because you used the wrong dryer!
Your mum will be proud of you;-)
And if, like me, you have trouble with symbols on washing machines, I recommend our program guide here.
