Washing and drying symbols on clothing labels, their decoding (table)

How a jacket or jacket works

A jacket or jacket with built-in headphones has the following technical characteristics:

1. The accessory is not afraid of water, so the product can be washed both by hand and in the washing machine.
2. The jacket is made of natural materials and a small amount of high-quality polyester. Thanks to this composition, excellent thermoregulation is provided, moisture is absorbed during sports. Also, the fabric is highly resistant to washing, does not fade and does not wear out.
3. A pocket with a convenient fastener is provided, which prevents the device from falling out for personal listening to music.
4. The headphone wire is located along the seam, thus does not constrain movement during exercise, and the function of pulling the hood is not lost. The wire has a zig-zag pattern to prevent tangling.
5. The headphones have a standard 3.5 mm jack, which allows you to connect a large number of devices.

Built-in headphones are characterized by the following technical parameters:

• sound range 20 Hz - 20 kHz;
• sensitivity 1 kHz, 103 dB;
• resistance - 32 ohms.

Distinguish things both in style and in functional content. Brands produce various modern models. Initially, only traditional sweaters with a closure with a hood went on sale, now you can even find interesting models with buttons. In the cold season, it is possible to use an insulated jacket with long and short sleeves.

How to wash properly

Outerwear made of membrane fabric can be hand washed and machine washable. The membrane retains all performance characteristics with regular washing rules.

By hands

The suit (pants, jacket) does not need to be soaked. Immerse the item in a basin (bath) filled with water at room temperature. Lather stains with laundry soap, rub gently with a sponge or toothbrush.

Apply detergent to all parts of the clothing. Do not rub the area of ​​the glued seams. Do not squeeze or twist the product. Rinse several times, at the end, go over the surface of the product with a shower jet.

In the washing machine

Before loading into the machine, clothes must be cleaned from dust with a clothes brush with soft bristles. It is better not to put other things in the drum. Dust and debris from them can clog the pores of the membrane.

Mode

You can wash using the Wool, Hand, Down, Delicate programs. In models released in recent years, manufacturers have provided a special mode for membrane fabric.

Temperature

To preserve the structure of the membrane and the color of the product, set the temperature to 30 ° C. Some fabrics can withstand 50 ° C. This temperature is selected if indicated on the label.

Spinning

The "Spin" function in the machine must be turned off. If there is no prohibiting sign on the tag, set the lowest speed - 400 rpm.

Washing conditions for products with technical equipment

According to the manufacturers, the headphones and wires sewn into the "hoodibadi" clothing will not be damaged when cleaning sweatshirts and vests from dirt by hand or by machine washing. HB3 Technology makes the speaker unafraid of water. Nevertheless, it is recommended to adhere to the four main rules of washing:

• Look at the hot solution label. There may be water temperature restrictions.
• Do not unscrew the jacket after rinsing by hand, do not wring out in the drum during machine wash. The integrity of the wires will be destroyed by excessive effort.

• After drying, iron the clothes only on a medium mode, avoid ironing the seams in which the mini cable is embedded.
• Use the headphones when the moisture has completely disappeared from them. Until this moment, do not use the connector for connecting a player or tablet.

The purchase will be replaced with a new one if the technical equipment fails after washing, if the warranty period for the clothes has not expired. A mandatory requirement is compliance with the rules for wearing windbreakers, jackets, and the operation of their acoustic devices.

Caring for clothes made of artificial and synthetic materials

Most of these materials have properties that are as close as possible to fabrics made from natural fibers.

Viscose is a material made from natural raw materials (wood) using chemical processing. Cellulose fiber fabrics are similar in properties to natural materials. When washed, it gives significant shrinkage, up to 15%. Hand and machine wash allowed in delicate mode at temperatures up to 40ºC without strong mechanical impact, spin at low speed (no more than 600 rpm). When spinning by hand, avoid twisting and dry only while hanging.

Modal, Tencel, Lyocell - modern fabrics made from improved viscose fiber obtained from different types of wood (eucalyptus, bamboo and others). These materials combine the best properties of natural fabrics: they are hygroscopic, hypoallergenic and have thermoregulatory properties. Suitable for summer clothes and bed linen.

Polyamide (nylon, nylon, polyester) is a synthetic fiber fabric. The material is resistant to wear and tear, has a high tensile strength. It is allowed to wash in normal mode at a temperature not exceeding 40ºC, with spinning at low centrifuge speeds (600–800 rpm). Dry polyamide products in a suspended state, protected from sunlight and away from heaters. Ironing is not necessary, the material practically does not wrinkle; if necessary, use the synthetic iron program.

Wash jerseys of any fiber in the Delicate mode or by hand without wringing too hard. Dry the items on a towel and never hang them on a hanger: items can stretch out. In cases where clothes are made from a mixed fabric, which contains several different fibers, select a care regimen for the one with a higher percentage.

Your mark:

Removing stubborn dirt at home

Before starting washing, things are inspected in order to preliminarily identify dirt that may not come off from a simple washing powder. Folk and special remedies are used to remove stains. Contamination must be removed as soon as possible, so as not to greatly damage the fabric. When removing stains, it is helpful to remember where they came from. This will help you choose an effective remedy.

Laundry soap

72% soap quickly removes various types of dirt. Moisten the cloth with water, lather the stained area and leave for a few minutes. Then soak the whole thing in a solution of laundry soap and wash. Removes grease, makeup, sweat, dirt and dust.

Whiteners and stain removers

When choosing purchased products, you need to study the instructions - the manufacturer usually indicates which fabrics can be cleaned, and the recommended scheme of use. Let's note the basic rules:

• chlorine and acid bleaches for flax are not used, only oxygen and optical;
• stain removers are pre-tested on an inconspicuous area with mandatory drying and checking for color changes.

Optical brighteners simply mask dirt, dirt is not removed from the flax threads.

Boiling

High temperatures are not scary for white flax. Bed linen can be boiled using special products or laundry soap. You should first make sure that there are no synthetic components in the fabric.

Talc

Talc and chalk remove grease stains well. Dry powder is poured onto the spots on both sides, covered with tissue paper and ironed. Then they are shaken off and washed with the usual means.

Ammonia

A solution with ammonia (10%) well removes traces of sweat, rust and blood from flax. To clean the fabric, add 10 milliliters of ammonia to a glass of water, moisten a tampon with a solution, apply on spots for 1-2 minutes. After that, they are washed off under running water and washed.

Salt

Saline can help remove sweat stains. Composition - for 200 milliliters of water a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of ammonia. The contaminated linen product is immersed in the solution for 10-20 minutes. Then they rinse and wash.

Features of tailoring with headphones

The design of the sweatshirt with built-in wires, acoustics and a connector for connecting to a phone or tablet turned out to be successful. Headphones are mounted in the laces of the hood of the jacket, which makes such clothes outwardly indistinguishable from ordinary models. Sweatshirts and sweatshirts with acoustics can be seen by the following features:

1. The wires are sewn into the elements of the jacket in a zigzag pattern: they cannot get tangled, they cannot be lost. The sound-conducting cords do not interfere with hand manipulation.
2. The material for making sweaters is a mixture of viscose, synthetics, cotton. The materials used are fashionable colors and prints (drawings, prints). The fabrics provide thermoregulation and wick away excess moisture when the jacket is used for sports activities. Clothes do not fade when washed.
3. The front pocket of the jacket is large and with a fastener that prevents the sound source from falling out of it.
4. Hood drawstring: a cap cord is passed through it, while the attribute retains its purpose - to pull the fabric along the contour of the head.

The acoustic part of clothing is characterized by headphone performance: resistance - 32 ohms, frequency - from 20 Hz to the same number of kilohertz, volume - 103 dB. The size of the connector is 3.5 mm.

• Clothes with an unpleasant odor are immersed in the resulting solution for 35 minutes.
• Then the items are washed by hand using washing powder.

Rinsing

It helps to cope with the problem of rinsing linen in an acidic solution. Vinegar is poured into the compartment of the washing machine instead of the usual rinse aid.

Soda

Regular baking soda will help remove the unpleasant odor:

• Dissolve 25 g of soda in a liter of boiling water.
• Pour the ready-made solution into the clothes for 35 minutes.
• At the last stage, the clothes are washed as usual.

It is permissible to pour soda into the compartment together with the powder.

Vodka, alcohol

If your clothes stink after washing, an alcohol solution will help. Stir vodka or alcohol with water. The components are taken in equal quantities. The finished solution is poured into a spray bottle. Things are hung in the fresh air and an alcohol solution is sprayed on them.

Professional remedies

If folk methods do not help, use chemicals.

Flavored water

The fragrance is effective against musty odors. It contains herbal extracts and other natural ingredients.

Sodium borate

A solution is made on the basis of borax. 50 g of sodium borate are dissolved in two liters of water. Things are dipped into the finished solution for 3 hours. Then the items are washed in the washing machine by starting a suitable program.

Symbols on tags

The symbols on the labels can be divided into groups - washing, drying, bleaching, ironing, professional care. In the same sequence, they are located on the product tag.

Symbols are international designations. This means - wherever you buy an item, the label will have familiar images.

What does the sign of hand and machine washing of linen mean?

The generally accepted designation for washing is a basin with liquid, inside which recommendations for the temperature regime are shown. This is the first picture in a series of symbols on the label.

Washing symbols will help you decide on the initial care of your garment.

How to decipher the whitening and dry cleaning icon

Few housewives know what the designations of a circle and a triangle can mean.

In order not to spoil your favorite thing, it is important to remember for which products dry cleaning, bleaching or cleaning with chemicals is allowed or prohibited.

The whitening or dry cleaning symbol is usually placed second on the label.

In addition to dry professional cleaning, there is Wet-cleaning - professional wet cleaning. With this method, water is present as a solvent, and the cleaning itself takes place in a special washing machine. This treatment allows you to completely remove stains that could not be removed during dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning (professional dry cleaning) consists of two steps - pre-treatment and machine dry cleaning itself. At the first stage, a stain remover is used, at the second, a solvent. The cycles are repeated until the spots disappear. Then the thing is run into a rinse and dry mode.

Aqua cleaning will cope even with those stains that dry professional cleaning did not cope with

What does the spin and dry label stand for?

The drying symbol - a square with the most varied filling of the picture - will tell you how not to spoil the thing at the last stages of care.

This symbol will tell you how to dry the product properly.

The meaning of the "Iron" symbol

This icon looks like an iron. Everything here is as simple as possible - first, determine if the laundry can be ironed. Then, on your home iron, adjust the settings according to the symbol.

The ironing symbol on the labels creates the least difficulty in decoding. This is the easiest part of garment care.

A Few General Care Tips

Before sending a garment to the wash, carefully check the pockets - turn the garment inside out. In addition to preventing damage to the washing machine, a damaged appearance can be avoided - the product will not shed. Buttons, zippers are fastened, it is better to unfasten buttons. Lacing, ribbons must be tied in several knots. It is recommended not to wrinkle things when loading, but fold them neatly in several layers.

Features of the first wash

In addition to the usual rules indicated on the label, there are several recommendations that must be followed during the first wash:

• it is recommended to soak new products for 6 hours in warm water before washing;
• focus on washing similar fabrics;
• for washing by hand, it is imperative to completely dissolve the washing powder in order to avoid streaks on the fabrics in the future. Liquid gel or other laundry detergents are ideal.

If you have purchased a garment with a small piece of fabric (possibly with a button) sewn neatly to the inside seam, you're in luck - this is a good way to experiment and determine the "behavior" of the material during and after washing, the properties of the fabric. To do such manipulations, you need to carefully outline a piece of fabric on paper, wash and reapply the material to the outline.

Dry cleaning (dry cleaning and water cleaning)

Not all things can be washed on their own - some fabrics require special treatment.We provide a table with the decoding of the designation of icons for washing on clothes using special means.

Below you can see a photo showing the main symbolic pictures most often found on clothing tags. Save this image so that it is always at hand - after all, it is impossible to remember all the wash icons!

The circle indicates recommendations for professional dry cleaning. We decipher letters and icons:

1. Empty circle - dry cleaning allowed.
2. Strikethrough - prohibited.
3. Inside the letter "A" - cleaning with any solvent.
4. Inside the letter "R" - procedures with hydrocarbon, chlorine ethylene, monoflotrichloromethane are allowed. An additional horizontal line under the circle means a more gentle treatment with the same solvents.
5. Letter "F" - tetrachlorethylene and hydrocarbon allowed. An additional feature is the delicate treatment with the same solvents.

Don't bother with dry cleaning icons unless the circle is crossed out. An employee of the service will figure out how to clean a delicate product.

Separately designated "water cleaning". You will recognize these guidelines for the letter "W" inside the circle:

1. No extras - water cleaning is allowed.
2. A crossed out circle with "W" or a crossed out filled circle - prohibition of water cleaning.
3. One horizontal line under the circle is a gentle aqua cleaning.
4. Double line - the most delicate water cleaning mode.

Table 3. Icons for water cleaning

The circle (1) will tell about the conditions of dry cleaning in the conditions of specialized enterprises. There are pictures for ordinary “dry” cleaning.

• The crossed out circle (2) indicates that dry cleaning is prohibited.
• The letter A (3) indicates that treatment with any solvent is possible.
• The P symbol in a circle (4) indicates that the procedure can be carried out with chlorine ethylene, hydrocarbon, monoflotrichloromethane.
• The underlined circle with the letter P (5) - the means from the previous option are valid, but the procedure itself is more gentle.
• The F symbol (6) permits the use of trifluorochloromethane and hydrocarbon.
• If the circle with F is underlined (7), then it is permissible to use the above-described means, but in a delicate mode.

In addition to "dry" there is also "water cleaning". It has its own pointers and the main one, which determines whether it is permissible to clean an object in this way, is a circle with the letter W (1):

If the pictogram is crossed out (2), then water cleaning is impossible.
When there is one horizontal line under the symbol (3), be aware that you need a delicate mode.
Double underscore (4) indicates the need for a particularly careful procedure.
