We care for things correctly: labeling on clothes

It's a familiar picture, is not it: you bought a thing, were very happy, worn it with pleasure, and then rewound and ironed. Oh God! Instead of a wonderful renewal, you now have a shapeless rag that is no longer usable. The reason for such a metamorphosis, most often, is not the manufacturer's defects, but the wrong treatment.

Explanation of symbols

Before you send the item to the washroom or put it on the ironing board, you need to carefully study the label designation on the clothes. They will tell you in detail how to extend the life of a skirt or blouse, to preserve in a pristine form a wonderful dress and not to reduce the seductiveness of underwear to zero.

Signs associated with washing and cleaning

The designation of labels on clothing associated with washing is conveyed by the symbol "pelvis with water", it is very easy to recognize it.

1. If the figure is 95, this means that the product can be boiled. Usually such a mark is placed on cotton and linen, that is, natural fabrics dyed with dyes or pure white.
2. Figures 60, 40, 30 - also degrees, that is, the maximum temperature of water in which things can be immersed. 30 degrees - this is a cold wash, for example, it is used for woolen products (machine mode - sparing). This designation of labels on clothes shows that the products require delicate handling and the use of neutral detergents. Usually they refer to fabrics made from viscose, polyester, melange, and some types of cotton. And if the palm is drawn on the "basin", the laundry of the thing is only allowed by hand. Thing can not be rubbed, twist, too. Do not send to the washing machine! The crossed "pelvis" means a complete prohibition of washing. Such a designation of labels on clothes, as simple as "pelvis" and "pelvis with stripes underneath", indicates that it is possible to wash the product, but the process should be delicate, with a large amount of water, a low, accurately aged temperature, with gentle pressing.
3. Drying and push-up - both processes also have their own pictograms. So, an empty square (contour) allows drying, and crossed - no, as well as erase. Designations on the labels of clothes "washing and drying" are expressed by a circle inscribed in a square. It explains that a thing can be washed mechanically, as well as squeezed, dried in a typewriter or an electric dryer. The same symbol, but crossed out prohibits mechanical pressing and drying. Rectangle crossed strictly forbids machine spinning. The pictogram "circle in a square with one point in the center" allows for electric drying, but in a low temperature regime. The same, but with two points allows drying at medium temperatures, and with three - at high temperatures. The same figure, but instead of the points of the line under it - spin and drying are allowed to be delicate, soft. Such signs on clothing labels, like a square with an arc or lines, recommend different types of drying clothes: vertical, horizontal, without pressing or in the shade.
4. The signs of chemical cleaning and bleaching are associated with a circle and a triangle. An empty circle - dry cleaning is allowed, crossed - no. The Latin letters A, P, F in the circle indicate different kinds of bleach and stain removers that can be used to clean things. An empty triangle allows you to bleach, crossed out - no. If the chemical symbols of chlorine are shown in small letters in the triangle, preparations with its content can be added when washing. And stripes inside indicate that bleach without bleach is suitable for a thing.

Ironing

Iron icon. If just his image, iron clothes without fear. Overwhelmed - do without ironing. Points inside - indicators of possible maximum temperatures. A vicious pair means that the product can not be steamed.

That's how simple it is, just be careful. And let your favorite things serve you for a long time!
