I've come to realize, much to my amusement and probably to my mom's horror, that the little laundry tags on clothes don't necessarily mean what say, at least not to me. As we dive into this Christmas holiday, if you plan on buying clothes, and you enjoy the comfort of knowing your loved one is clean and fresh, you might consider what these tags could mean in the hands of the receiver...
"Hand Wash Only; Lay Flat to Dry": This will never be washed. Ever.
"Hand Wash Only; Line Dry": Eh, a little Febreeze, steam from the shower, it'll be fine!
"Wash With Like Colors": Wash everything you own together on cold.
"Wash on Gentle; Lay Flat to Dry": Wash on Gentle, throw into the dryer but nervously check its progress every few minutes.
"Tumble Dry Low": Huh? ....put it in the dryer. Push the button.
"Hand Wash Only; Reshape and Lay Flat to Dry": This will never be washed.
"Hand Wash Only; Reshape and Lay Flat to Dry" on a Victoria's Secret bra: You bet your bootie I'm following those instructions to the T! Those dang things cost $50!!
"Dry Clean Only": Just don't buy this. You'll be the stinky kid in the room.
