Washing instructions for clothes have changed.

The new washing label uses the same symbol as the international standard label symbol. The type of bleach and application temperature are set more finely than before, and the number of types of symbols will increase from 22 to 41. By providing more detailed information, we can expect a reduction in washing troubles such as shrinkage and discoloration of clothes.
In addition, the unification of washing instructions in Japan and overseas is expected to facilitate the smooth handling of clothing and other textile products purchased overseas.
