If you want to know how to take good care of your clothes you have to read clothing labels. They will give you insight on what you are expected to do so as to ensure that you do not reduce the quality of your outfit. To gain a good understanding of the label, you must know how to interpret and follow the various symbols used.
In some cases, text is used instead of symbols to provide instructions on the care of the outfit. In other instances, a combination of images and text is used. Depending on where you are located, the common language in the region is what will be used on the label. If the outfit is meant to be bought by individuals all over the world, then most manufacturers will have a language in more than one language.
A washtub with water is an indication that the garment can be washed. The number of dots in the basin indicates the right water temperature to use. If there are hands in the basin, this shows that the garment can be hand washed. A circle indicated a garment which needs to be dry cleaned. A square with a circle in it is an indication of tumble drying.
An outfit that can be bleached will have the symbol of a triangle. A black triangle with an X over it is a sign that bleaching is not allowed. A triangle with lines inside it is an indication that non chlorine bleaching is allowed.
An iron box is an indication that it is okay to iron the garment. The number of dots in the iron box shows the temperature level to use. If the iron symbol has two lines under it and an X, it means that you should not steam iron the garment. If there is an X on the iron, it means that you do not need to iron the cloth.
Machine washing is symbolized with a cup with water in it. Dots indicate the water temperature to use. The more dots there are, the hotter the water should be.
The label is normally placed in different places depending on the type of outfit. Outfits which have collars normally have the label placed on the inner collar. This includes shirts and jackets. For skirts and trousers, check the back of the garment. The other place to check is the inner right seam or on the inner side of zippers.
Both clients and store owners find clothing labels useful. To minimize chances of clothes being damaged, store owners should advice clients to use the labels. This way, clothes will not shrink or get torn. To know who designed a particular outfit check the label as most designers will include their name. While some manufacturers print their labels, others will prefer to have them woven.
