  • Care Labelling Guide
    Care Labelling Guide This chart is for guidance only and should be read in conjunction with the ACCC Care labelling for Clothing Guide which specifies the mandatory standards for care labelling based on the Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 1957:1998, Textiles—Care labelling with variations and additions made by Consumer Protection Notice No. 25 of 2010. In Australia, care instructions must be permanently attached to articles, be written in English, and be appropriate for the care of the article. Additional symbols may be used to clarify the instructions but symbols alone are not sufficient. As a minimum, laundering instructions include (in order) four symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, and ironing. Drycleaning instructions include one symbol. Professional Wet Cleaning symbols are included for information only as they are not currently recognised in Australia. Washing The washtub symbol tells you how the garment should be washed. The number inside the washtub is the maximum wash temperature. A bar underneath the washtub indicates that the garment should have mild treatment or washed using the Permanent Press setting. Two lines underneath the washtub indicate gentle or delicate treatment. Normal Permanent Press Delicate / Gentle Hand Wash 95°c 70°c 60°c 50°c 40°c 30°c Do Not Wring Do Not Wash Bleaching The triangle symbol gives information about whether it is safe to bleach the garment.

  • 1. What Is the ERP Compliance Certification?
    Charles D. Baker Matthew A. Beaton Governor Secretary Karyn E. Polito Martin Suuberg Lieutenant Governor Commissioner 1. What is the ERP Compliance Certification? Commercial dry cleaners who use perchloroethylene (perc) are required to certify to the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) that they are complying with the environmental protection requirements that apply to their business on or before September 15. These instructions are intended to help you complete and submit the on- line ERP Certification. These instructions and the separate Workbook have been designed to enable you to fill out the ERP Certification by yourself. DEP strongly advises you to review this material well in advance of the September 15 deadline. While many facilities have all of the equipment they need to comply with environmental standards and are operating in compliance with the requirements, some businesses may need to take additional steps to comply. The on-line ERP certification includes the following: Annual ERP Compliance Certification: This form has seven sections: Facility Information - identifies the facility, mailing address and a contact person. Change in Status – (This replaces the ERP Non-Applicability statement on previous certification packages). If you do not operate a dry cleaning machine on-site, use a perc alternative, or use only coin-operated dry cleaning machines, check the appropriate box and skip to the Comment Section. Compliance Questions - A series of mostly “yes” or “no” questions about whether or not your facility is following the applicable environmental requirements. Comments Section Non-Perc Machine Information – Required questions on your non-perc professional cleaning machines. Useful Pollution Prevention Information – Optional questions and information on reducing perc use and learning about perc alternatives.

  • Knolltextiles Cleaning Information
    Cleaning Information Regular Maintenance It is important to vacuum upholstery regularly to remove the surface dust that builds up and slowly contributes to a greying effect that diminishes the clarity of the original color. Please note that vacuuming should be done with the proper attachments to avoid breaking down the fibers and contributing to “pilling.” In addition to regular vacuuming, a professional cleaner should come in at least once or twice a year to thoroughly clean the fabrics and remove the soiling that a normal vacuum cleaner cannot reach. The expense of this service is small compared to the reward of seating that looks good as new after a lot of use. Cleaning Codes W: Water-based cleaning agents or foam may be used for cleaning this fabric. S: Only mild, pure water-free dry cleaning solvents may be used for cleaning this fabric. W-S: Water-based cleaning agents and foam or mild, waterfree solvents may be used for cleaning this fabric. W Bleach: Water-based or foam cleaning agents or diluted household bleach may be used for cleaning this fabric. W-S Bleach: Clean with water or solvent-based cleaning agents or diluted household bleach. X: This fabric should be vacuumed or brushed lightly to remove soil. Warning: Do not use water-based foam or liquid cleaning agents of any type on this fabric. Cleaning vs Sanitizing vs Disinfecting Cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing are often used synonymously, but they are not the same thing. Cleaning removes the visible foreign matter from a surface. Disinfecting, when done according to the instructions of a suitable cleaner, kills all bacteria and viruses present, while sanitizing reduces the level of bacteria and viruses present.

  • Cashemere, Wool, Silk, Cotton, Linen, Viscose Acétate, Polyester, Mohair, Leather, Angora
    Care guide cashemere, wool, silk, cotton, linen, viscose acétate, polyester, mohair, leather, angora.. MAINTENANCE TIPS ba&sh recommends you follow these tips and to preserve the original look of your items. Each type of product requires special care; details are provided on the product’s care label. We recommend you follow the ins- tructions on the care label for optimal maintenance of your ba&sh items. PRÉPARATION••••••• Firstly, sorting colours is essential. Whites should be separated from co- lours, and pastels separated from darker colours, in order to avoid greying whites and dark stains bleeding onto lighter colours. Next, we recommend sorting clothes according to their washing tempera- ture, as indicated on their composition label. You can group together so-called delicate items (lace, silk, micro fibre ...) to wash then together. For some items, we recommend turning them over. This is essential for: velvets, items with prints, embroidery, transfers, fantasy knitwear, all pre- washed fabrics such as jeans. More generally, this technique is recom- mended to protect garments from fading, felting, wear or pilling for deli- cate materials. It can therefore be applied to all clothing. For delicate materials, the garment can be put in a cotton bag for washing, or a washing bag to protect it. Dry cleaning is recommended for padded garments (coats or jackets). Dry cleaning is more appropriate for this type of garment. More generally, dry cleaning is recommended for delicate materials and/or items. If you purchased coordinates, try to wash them together to limit colour differences. WASHING••••••• For the first few washes of your new clothes, we recommend you wash them separately to prevent any dye-bleeding.

  • AP-42, Vol. I, CH 4.1: Dry Cleaning
    4.1 Dry Cleaning 4.1.1 General1,2 Dry cleaning involves the cleaning of fabrics with nonaqueous organic solvents. The dry cleaning process requires 3 steps: (1) washing the fabric in solvent, (2) spinning to extract excess solvent, and (3) drying by tumbling in a hot air stream. Two general types of cleaning fluids are used in the industry, petroleum solvents and synthetic solvents. Petroleum solvents, such as Stoddard or 140-F, are inexpensive combustible hydrocarbon mixtures similar to kerosene. Operations using petroleum solvents are known as petroleum plants. Synthetic solvents are nonflammable but more expensive halogenated hydrocarbons. Perchloroethylene and trichlorotrifluoroethane are the 2 synthetic dry cleaning solvents presently in use. Operations using these synthetic solvents are respectively called "perc" plants and fluorocarbon plants. There are 2 basic types of dry cleaning machines, transfer and dry-to-dry. Transfer machines accomplish washing and drying in separate machines. Usually, the washer extracts excess solvent from the clothes before they are transferred to the dryer, but some older petroleum plants have separate extractors for this purpose. Dry-to-dry machines are single units that perform all of the washing, extraction, and drying operations. All petroleum solvent machines are the transfer type, but synthetic solvent plants can be either type. The dry cleaning industry can be divided into 3 sectors: coin-operated facilities, commercial operations, and industrial cleaners. Coin-operated facilities are usually part of a laundry supplying "self-service" dry cleaning for consumers. Only synthetic solvents are used in coin operated dry cleaning machines. Such machines are small, with a capacity of 3.6 to 11.5 kg (8 to 25 lb) of clothing.

    Notice: This opinion is subject to formal revision before publication in the Atlantic and Maryland Reporters. Users are requested to notify the Clerk of the Court of any formal errors so that corrections may be made before the bound volumes go to press. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS No. 07-CV-872 ROY L. PEARSON, JR., APPELLANT, v. SOO CHUNG, ET AL., APPELLEES. Appeal from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (CA-4302-05) (Hon. Judith Bartnoff, Trial Judge) (Hon. Neal E. Kravitz, Motions Judge) (Argued October 22, 2008 Decided December 18, 2008) Roy L. Pearson, Jr., pro se. Christopher C. S. Manning for appellees. Before KRAMER and THOMPSON, Associate Judges, and FARRELL, Associate Judge, Retired. KRAMER, Associate Judge: Appellant, Roy Pearson, who is an attorney, sued the Chungs, the owners of a dry cleaner called Custom Cleaners, alleging common law fraud and violations of the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“CPPA”). His lawsuit was based upon signs that the Chungs displayed in their store stating “Satisfaction Guaranteed” and “Same Day 2 Service.” At the conclusion of a bench trial, Judge Judith Bartnoff, in a well-reasoned opinion, found for the Chungs on all claims. Pearson argues that the trial court misapplied the law and erred in denying his motion for a jury trial. We affirm the trial court’s decision. I. Factual Background Judge Bartnoff’s opinion provided the following overview of this matter. This case has its origin in a dispute between plaintiff Roy Pearson and defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y.
