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.
