# Laundry Care Tag Sort

Load or basket:
Review date:
Main risk:

| Item | Lane | Why it matters | Next action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Cotton tees] | wash | [normal load] | [add to washer] |
| [Wool sweater] | hand-wash | [tag says gentle] | [separate basin] |
| [Line dry blouse] | air-dry | [avoid dryer] | [hang after wash] |
| [Unknown symbol dress] | check | [label unclear] | [confirm tag first] |

## Variants
- Mixed family load: check new clothes, school uniforms, delicates, and air-dry items.
- Travel laundry: separate quick-wash basics from delicate or borrowed items.
- New clothes: check color bleed, tags, trims, and heat limits before the first wash.

## Boundary Reminders
- Follow the garment tag or manufacturer guidance.
- Keep check rows out of normal wash until the tag is clear.
- Pull air-dry rows before the dryer starts.

Useful variants

  • Mixed laundry basket

How to adapt it

Replace bracketed text with your details, remove sections you do not need, and keep the final version short enough for the reader to act on.

FAQ

Can this decode symbols?

No. It keeps unclear symbols visible so you can check them before washing.

What should be checked first?

Check new garments, missing tags, unfamiliar symbols, borrowed clothes, and anything that may react badly to heat.
