Careful label reveals! You must not know the laundry skills

1 Care Logo Introduction Back to Top

PConline Tips We wash our clothes every day, but for more expensive clothes, we need to consider how to wash, in addition to being careful not to get dirty. Xiao Bian asked parents and elders in private. They usually rely on experience and common sense for washing clothes. For example, cotton clothes are easy to fade, they are not washed together with white, and wool products cannot be washed with too hot water. When asked how to wash the more delicate clothes, their answers were generally sent to the laundry, which also led to the story of a pile of laundry pits to wash the clothes. Xiaobian's mother once had a very Like the windbreaker washed by the laundry changed color, not much to mention here.

Regarding how to wash each piece of clothing, when we saw this piece of clothing, the designer label hidden in the fabric stitching gave us the answer. Most of the homemade clothing labels have icons near the icon or simple or Detailed text description. However, the clothes that we usually wear are not all domestic, especially those foreign high-end clothes that need more maintenance, are more precious than ordinary clothes, and need to be maintained. These high-end goods are often identified in foreign language instructions, we can also check the information on the Internet, but when we buy for parents, language barriers become a big problem.

In fact, the experts had long thought of this problem, so they invented a series of symbols and logos. As long as they recognize these washing logos and symbols (hereinafter referred to as “shampooing”), they will no longer be afraid of not washing clothes!

Although these shufflings seem messy, they are unified standards both domestically and internationally. The current international standard is ISO 3758:2012 (Text — Care labelling code using symbols) formulated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the latest national standard is GB/T 8685—2008 , which is the “Specifications for Textiles Maintenance Labels”. The "Symbol Act", as the main domestic standards "reference" since the revision of ISO 3758:2005 in 2008 , so the two are actually very similar, the following Xiao Bian will take everyone to know and understand the higher international version.

After translation and sorting, Xiao Bian divides these symbols into 7 categories, namely, washed symbols, bleached symbols, inverted drying symbols, natural drying symbols, ironing symbols, professional care symbols (dry-cleaning), and professional washing symbols (wet-washing ), Let's start with washing symbols first.


Table 1 - Washed symbols

Washing is an ordinary washing machine washing or hand washing, it should be noted that the water temperature here is not to say that this temperature must be washed, but that the clothes can withstand the maximum water temperature, such as the maximum water temperature is 50 °C, then lower 50 °C water temperature is also possible, there are hand-washing symbols default maximum temperature is 40 °C


Table 2 - Bleaching Symbols

Bleach is divided into chlorine bleach and non-chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach contains sodium hypochlorite. Non-chlorine bleach is also called oxygen bleach. It contains hydrogen peroxide or some compounds that release peroxide, such as sodium perborate or percarbonate. sodium.

Since the chlorine bleach easily discolors the laundry, it is generally used only for washing white clothes, and the oxygen bleach has a wider application range.


Table 3 - Overturning Dry Symbols

Drying by flipping refers to placing clothes in a tumble dryer and drying the clothes by hot air and inversion. For materials that are not resistant to high temperatures, high temperature hot air can cause damage to them. This does not mean that they cannot be dried in a washing machine.


Table 4 - Natural Drying Symbols

Natural dryness is what we usually call “drying clothes.” Vertical lines indicate hanging, horizontal lines indicate flat, and slashes indicate light protection. Is it very vivid? The word drip dry may not be understood, in fact, the difference between dripping and drying is that drying can be performed before the suspension of dehydration treatment, and drip dry clothes should be directly in the case of dripping to dry.


Table 5 - Ironing symbols

The iron represents ironing on behalf of the family. Steam can be used without steam. The point inside indicates the maximum temperature of the soleplate. The more points, the higher the temperature. However, the symbol standard for the steamer is not listed at present. For the sake of safety, everyone You can refer to the maximum temperature for normal ironing.


Table 6 - Professional Care Symbols (Dry-clean)

Dry cleaning is the washing of laundry with organic chemical solvents, including a dry-dry cleaning method that removes oil stains or stains. Since water does not directly contact the laundry during laundry, it is called dry cleaning. Because of its origins in Paris, France, people often call it "French dry cleaning" (I do not know why I think of French disdain).


Table 7 - Professional Care Symbols (Wet Wash)

The concept of wet washing is often mistaken for another way of washing. However, wet washing is not water washing! Wet washing is not water washing! Wet washing is not water washing! (Important things say three times) It originated in Europe at the end of the last century, and it belongs to a brand new technology between dry cleaning and washing. Although wet washing also uses water as a washing medium, there are many differences in washing methods, process procedures, and raw materials used. It can replace dry cleaning of some hand-washed clothes and some clothes that do not perform well. Wet washing hardly produces any pollution. The water consumption is very small. The degree of cleanliness is high and the clothes are not deformed. This technique requires specialized washing procedures, special detergents and finishing agents.

See here you may say, wow you are not a pit father by Xiao Bian, so many chaos who will remember? Don't worry, I believe now you should also find some rules between these symbols. For example, any symbol is composed of a basic symbol and several auxiliary symbols. For example:

A pot filled with water is representative of washing; the horizontal line below the pot represents relaxation, and the two represent mild relaxation, which is very modest; the middle number represents the highest temperature, and the combination becomes the symbol of washing.

The triangle symbol represents bleaching, the "X" symbol prohibits, and the combination does not bleach. In the past international standards, the not-bleached symbol was solid in the triangle and is now changed to hollow. However, as long as the basic method is mastered, it will not affect the identification at all.

By analogy, the symbol for drying is a box, the symbol for ironing is an iron, the symbol for circles is professional care, and the number of dots represents the temperature level. Although many countries have their own set of standards, they never change their identity. In fact, it is not a difficult matter to say anything. what! Are you still in trouble? Don't worry, we have a simpler approach.

3 Automatic Recognition APP Demo Back to Top

There will be a market for demand, and there is a software for identifying these symbols in the APP STORE! Do not mind, not to understand, as long as the label is placed in the frame to sweep away, how to wash at a glance! This APP is called laundry day, translates to the laundry day, the price is 6 yuan, applies to IOS7.0 or more systems, of course, jailbreak students can ignore the price.

Xiaosi Xiaobian did not have fruit equipment. He borrowed his colleague's IPAD for testing. Because IPAD cameras compare slag and night shooting, they do not achieve the desired results. Of course, APP is not yet perfect. Here, we use a short video to simply demonstrate it to everyone. (Xiaobian's first vocal, welcome criticism and advice, it is recommended to wear headphones to watch)

From the video, we can see that the APP's improvement in the recognition rate and tag library needs to be improved. At present, the interest may be greater than practicality, and interested friends can install and play games.

I am the sea, we see you next time!
