Do you understand all those clothing care symbols?

[spidey07]

I sure as hell don't. Most of them aren't very intuitive at all. A triangle with stripes in it? A box with a circle? The only one that makes any sense is an iron with an X through it.

Google gave me this.

Laundry is the only thing I really don't look forward to doing when I get my own house.

It's too damn complicated! Guess you get to know the symbols after a while.

I look to see if anything says 'dry clean only'. If not, it goes into a permanent press wash, warm/cold temp, medium dryer temp. My clothes don't require any special care.

Ignore it all. Use the clothing law of natural selection. Wash clothes (I do actually separate whites and colors). If an article of clothing isn't tough enough to survive, it didn't deserve to be in my wardrobe.
