Laundry cheat sheet
Laundry isn’t just a rite of passage; it’s an essential life skill that will
come in handy for the rest of your life. Before you go tossing all your
clothing into the washer/dryer, stop and read the label. Unsure what
all those symbols mean? This cheat sheet is guaranteed to help you
make sense of it all and, hopefully, have you classroom ready in no time.
If you see these symbols:
Wash Bleach Tumble Dry Iron Dry Clean
with these codes:
MORE DOTS = MORE HEAT MORE BARS = MORE GENTLE
Cool Warm Hot Permanent Delicate or
or Low or Medium or High Press Cycle Gentle Cycle Do Not
then you know how to clean your clothing.
EXAMPLES:
FOUR TIPS ABOUT DOING LAUNDRY:
• Laundry should be separated into whites,
darks and delicates before being washed.
• Always check and empty your pockets.
• Use cold water to remove stains.
• Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your wash
Tumble Dry, Do Not to help keep clothing bright.
