any other federal program.

To obtain the best performance from
your clothing, learn to read and follow
permanent care label. The brief care
instructions also are useful in predicting
the cost, time and effort that w ill be
required to keep articles of clothing in
wearable condition
The garment manufacturer is respon
sible for providing information to the
consumer on the proper care procedure.
The label must be durable enough to
endure and remain legible throughout
the life of the garment. If piece goods
are purchased, it is the responsibility of
the seller to provide a permanent care
label for each length of fabric pur
chased.
It is then the consumer’s
responsibility to attach the care label
and follow it.
Instructions found on the permanent
care label* may include both basic and
supplemental information. Instructions
are based on the harshest treatm ent
that a garment or fabric can endure as
well as any precautions that should bi
observed. If the permanent care label
states that the garment is machine
washable, the garment may also be
hand washed or drycleaned unless there
is a supplemental warning not to do so.
However, if the label states that the
garment should be hand washed, it
should not be washed in a washer.
Machine washing is a more vigorous
method of care.
Sometime* instructions include re
commended water temperatures. These
guidelines should be strictly followed,
since many fibers and finishes are
sensitive to heat. If the label doea not
include the water temperature, then hot
water, 130 degrees to 150 degrees
Fahrenheit 154 degrees to 66 degrees
Centigrade), may be used. Warm water
should be between ,H) and 110 degrees
F 132 to 43 degrees C.I. Cold water is
less than 75 degrees F. or 25 degrees C.
Instructions regarding the use of
bleach may be included. It is assumed
that white articles are bleachable unless
the label cautions against the use of
bleach. It is also assumed that colored
clothing should not be bleached.
If
white clothing contains the caution, "Do
Not Bleach,” the fabric may be a fiber
that reacts w ith bleach or the fabric
may contain a finish that yellows if
bleached.
"Wash Garment Separately" may
appear on a lab«;l.
This precaution
should 1 m - observed, since two type* of
dye- reactions can take place during
laundering. Excess dye can come off,
staining other clothing in the same wash
load, or the dye can be invisibly
dissolved in the wash water, then
become insoluble anil reappear as
dinginess on other items of clothing.
