Survey on awareness of new laundry labeling, etc.

In December 2016, the handling labeling for clothing (laundry labeling or symbol) was changed to the same symbols as international standards, and the Consumer Affairs Agency has been working to spread awareness through the preparation and distribution of publicity materials and the dispatch of lecturers. While the new laundry labeling seems to be gradually becoming more widespread, we conducted a survey in Tokushima Prefecture on the level of awareness of the new laundry labeling in order to clarify how well consumers understand and use the labeling.

  • *We created a magnet for research purposes.
    Please note that we do not distribute magnets.

Spread and awareness using magnet sheet type's simplified chart

With the cooperation of Tokushima Prefecture and the Tokushima Prefecture Cleaning and Life Hygiene Industry Association, we distributed "magnet sheet type's simplified chart" and conducted a questionnaire survey.

  • Photo: Three washing machines are lined up, with magnets with a quick laundry instructions chart attached to the front.
