The familiar wash code symbols which are found on the care labels in most clothes will
gradually disappear and a new set of codes will be introduced. This change is due to
changes in fabrics and detergents and because people are tending to use fewer
programmes and mix fabrics in one load. The change will bring the codes into line with
the labelling used in the rest of Europe.
