      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.

                                                        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.
       Low Heat on Gentle        Use Bleach
