Icons for washing on clothes: decoding

Buying a new thing, perhaps not very important, but still an event that can raise the mood and gives the opportunity to appear in all its glory at a party or a home celebration. However, sooner or later a moment comes when the new thing begins to be recognized on the other side, i.e. the time of washing comes. It would seem that it can be simpler, especially in our time, when almost every mistress has in her arsenal such a miracle of technology as a washing machine-machine: things put, detergents fell asleep, button and pressed everything.

But it turns out all is not so simple. Manufacturers of modern household appliances, as well as clothing manufacturers do not leave the will of chance and create auxiliary elements in the form of labels on clothes and additional functions in the form of buttons on washing machines. If the instructions attached to the home appliances can help with the buttons, then difficulties arise with labels, because in a small area, important information about the composition of the fabric and possible manipulations of the washing, cleaning and ironing can be enciphered. And here you may need help, because the instructions with deciphering the mysterious signs on the label, to clothes are often not applied, but in vain, the incorrectly selected mode of washing and drying can simply render a thing. We will try to correct this situation.
