Designations for washing on clothes

Virtually every thing purchased in a store, boutique or on the market, is equipped with a sewn-on label that contains instructions for caring for it. These little assistants carry important information that helps to preserve the original look of the product. Knowing the meaning of the notation for washing on clothes, you can determine exactly which mode to put your washing machine on, how to dry the thing and whether it can be ironed.

However, not every woman can boast of knowledge of all the symbols on labels. Most simply focus on their experience, the quality of the fabric or its color. This tactic inevitably leads to the death of the wardrobe, which dims, crocheted or simply stretched by the drum of a washing machine.
