Consumer Tips - Apparel and Textile Care
The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) produced a standard in 2003 that provides new and improved industry symbols to help you clean and launder clothing safely.
For the long-term, beautiful life of our apparel, it is essential to follow suggested cleaning instructions to prevent problems like shrinking, dye transfer, fading, or the unsightly deposit of lint onto the rest of the wash.
The Guide to Apparel and Textile Care Symbols is available at www.consumer.ic.gc.ca/textile.
