Care Labels: Resolve Conflicting Instructions

Read the label

Compare the care symbol on the actual item with the store description. If they disagree, do not automatically choose the easier cleaning method.

Identify the conflict

Record whether the conflict concerns washing, heat or drying. Instructions for a similar fabric do not establish the correct method for this particular garment.

Keep a review record

Keep a clear image of the symbol, the listing wording and the model code. Omit personal invoice details; the seller needs the item identity to clarify the discrepancy. If the label bars tumble drying while the listing allows it, record both statements without testing either one. The discrepancy needs clarification before the garment's condition changes.

Ask before washing

Ask the seller or manufacturer before washing, especially while a return is being considered. Do not test a wash cycle to discover which instruction was correct.
