Your Guide to Easy Care Care labels provide helpful information
that can save you time and money. Cleaner, fresher clothes means
longer wearing apparel. And clothes that are bleachable are easier
to get clean. When a care label doesn't mention bleach or says
"Bleach when needed," it means it is safe to use Clorox liquid
bleach. When the label says "Non-chlorine bleach when needed" use a
non-chlorine (colour-safe) bleach like Clorox 2®.
Because clothes can be mislabelled, follow the easy directions
on bleach container labels to test fabrics for colour fastness.
