Wash code symbols
The familiar wash code symbols
which are found on the care labels in
most clothes will gradually disappear
and a new set of codes will be
introduced. This change Is due to
changes in fabrics and detergents
and because people are tending to
use fewer programmes and mix
fabrics in one load. The change will
bring the codes into line with the
labelling used in the rest of Europe.
