Care Labels
Mark: "Laura, I'm going to
the pullover that I
at C & A. But I don't
every symbol on the
label.
Can you
me, please?"
Laura: "Of course. Which symbols do you
?"
Mark: "Well, I understand the first instruction - it informs about the
of the pullover. The XL
EXTRA LARGE.
The next Information is quite
as well - the pullover is made of acrylic and wool.
But I don't understand the tub
the broken bar underneath it."
Laura: "Oh, you always
the difficult questions for me to answer!
I know that the number inside the wash tub stands for the
of the washing water.
And the bar underneath the tub means, ... let me think, oh yes: The machine action should
reduced when you wash this pullover."
Mark: "I think I understand the next symbol It has something to
with ironing."
Laura: "That's right. An iron with two dots means '
' and an iron with three dots means '
'.
But I don't know the next symbol I'll look it up in my book about domestic
.
Wait a minute .... There it is: “Do not
chlorine bleach."
Mark: "The next symbol looks funny. Let me look in your book, please: The 'P' means that the pullover may be
cleaned.
The 'P' stands for the solvent, which is used by the dry cleaner."
Laura: "I know the last symbol: “The pullover may not be tumble dried."
Mark: "That's not a problem for me, because I don't have a
dryer."
