LABELS

Look for the fiber content and the care labels required by the laws of your country.  They will indicate which cleaning method is most appropriate for the garment.  Occasionally, garments that are both washable and dry-cleanable may have only washing instructions on the label, so remember that most washable items can be dry-cleaned.

Care labels are intended to be permanent, so do not remove them.  They are helpful to you and the cleaner as well.
