Abstract

Washcare symbols form an integral part of textile industry as part of products for washing and maintenance. The present research attempts to understand if Indian users understand and follow washcare symbols through a study conducted on comprehension, compatibility, familiarity and standardisation of symbols with 60 participants. It should be noted here that India’s population is 1.39 billion in 2021, one-seventh of world’s population that uses a variety of textile products. The study revealed that 60% of users do not follow washcare symbols before washing clothes. Comprehension of washcare symbols was poor among participants. While familiarity, compatibility and standardisation of washcare symbols mostly ranged between 1 and 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. 80% of participants agreed that washcare instructions written in English language would be better to follow and care for textile products.
