Buying a new thing for your wardrobe, we are trying in every way to extend the life of the product. Disregarding the rules, we often spoil the thing, and this makes us very sad. To protect us from ill-considered actions in relation to our clothes, manufacturers decided to display on labels conditional signs that let us know how the thing reacts to certain actions, whether it is washing at a certain temperature, drying, ironing or even whitening. All these designations are located on the inside of the clothes.
In fact, the idea is brilliant. After all, we do not always know how to properly care for a new product: how to iron, how to wash by hand, how to use a thing in a washing machine and so on. For some of the icons on the label, we can guess what they mean. In most cases, we need help in deciphering the signs on the product label. In this article we will introduce you the badges on clothes for washing, drying, ironing, pressing and bleaching. We hope they will be useful to you!
