Symbols on clothing

Often you can hear from housewives a complaint about the thing bought in an expensive shop just as quickly lost its appearance, as well as clothes purchased in the market. The reasons can be very different, but first of all you should think about whether you are taking care of your clothes properly, are you following the directions on the labels, can you correctly decipher the designation of badges on clothes?

In fact, the information on the labels of your new blouse or trousers can tell in sufficient detail whether it is possible, and how to properly wash and dry, clean and iron a new thing. On such a label with recommendations, the manufacturer, as a rule, indicates from what material the product is manufactured, the composition of raw materials in percent and some conventional symbols. On clothes you can meet both quite clear and obscure icons, therefore it is desirable for the modern hostess to have at home a special notepad with explanations of how to properly care for the wardrobe in order to preserve the quality and impeccable appearance of each thing. Of course, certain, often occurring symbols can be remembered, but the rest do not even know how to decipher, let alone to keep them in memory. Let's try to understand the markings and understand the basic designations on clothes.

The symbols referring to the washing of articles

About how and at what temperature it is necessary to erase a thing, you can learn by what form the schematic water basin on the label is depicted. So, if such an image is present, and it is not crossed out, therefore, washing is permissible, otherwise the product should be cleaned in other ways. The figure in the figure will indicate which water temperature is recommended by the manufacturer, sometimes the numbers are replaced by dots. One point corresponds to 30 degrees, two points - 40, three - 60 and so on. The designation on the clothes in the form of hands dropped into the water will indicate the need for manual washing. An important detail for all designations concerning the care of clothes is the presence of one or two horizontal lines under the pattern. One warns of a sparing way of carrying out this operation, and two - about delicate.

Dry cleaning and bleaching

On the dry cleaning conditions will tell the designations on clothes in the form of a circle. An empty circle on the label recommends dry cleaning, crossed out - prohibits the use of any chemical agents. If the circle contains inside the letters A, P, F, you should pay attention to the solvents to be used. A - dry cleaning with any solvent possible. P - possible dry cleaning with solvents such as chlorine ethylene, monofluorotrichloromethane, hydrocarbon. F - dry cleaning using trifluorotrichloromethane and hydrocarbon.

White triangle allows bleaching, black prohibits. The presence in it of letters CL allows the use of chlorine. If these letters are crossed out or there are oblique bands in the triangle, the bleaching agents used should not contain chlorine.

Drying

An empty square allows drying. The presence of a square in the circle indicates that the spin is acceptable. The indicated temperature will show the optimum drying mode. By the arrangement of the bands inside the square, it is easy enough to guess how to dry the product: on a rope, horizontally, vertically, without spinning or in the shade.
