Deciphering the Clean Language

Do you, like me, have no idea what those tiny symbols mean on your clothing's tag?  The one that tells you how to care for it?  It truly is a language from Mars as far as I'm concerned.  It typically boils down to a guessing game...and typically does not involve boiling water...this much I've learned.

I have a great Patagonia skirt that I wore constantly this summer and I went online to find out how best to safely clean it.  I came across this great graph that decodes the cyphers on those tags and I printed it out and put it up next to the washer and dryer.

Cheers to clean clothes and sweaters that don't shrink!
