Do you have trouble trying to decipher the symbols on clothing tags for washing instructions? It has been an obstacle that I have yet to overcome. The Take Care T-shirt helps me in no way, as all the washing symbols are used as a design on the front.
I think I can figure out the “iron” and “don’t iron” symbols, but I think it’s safe to say that the rest of them are just made up in order to make me even more confused than I already am.
