The ignorance about how clothes should be cleaned can cost families thousands of pounds, according to a sample test of householders by school uniform supplier Trutex.

根据校服供应商Trutex的一份家庭样本测试，不知道该如何清洗衣物可让家庭损失数千英镑。

Men are the worst offenders with more than three quarters (78 percent) always using the same programme on a washing machine regardless of the instructions.

男性是最大受害者。超过四分之三（78%）的男性总是使用洗衣机上的同一程序，不管洗涤说明。

Almost half of women (48 percent) used just three programmes or less.

近一半的女性（48%）仅使用三个以下的程序。

While almost eight out of ten people (79 percent) believe it is important to check the labels on their clothes, less than half (39 percent) look at them when buying a new item.

虽然有近八成人（79%）认为查看衣服上的标签很重要，但只有不到一半的人（39%）在购买新衣服时会查看标签。

In the test some nine out of ten said they were unaware that some clothing should never be put in the tumble drier.

在测试中，约九成人称，他们没发现有些衣物不应该放进滚筒烘干机里。

Ironing was the most understood symbol however six in ten people automatically use a high heat steam without checking.
