Hi everyone, I am looking for the easiest to ‘attach’ ‘ most solid’ type of labelling for our lovely Mum’s clothes etc . Would be grateful for recommendations please? ( i’ve looked at ones that are like clip on buttons..?, dunno if iron on ones stay on? Trying to avoid sewing on a 100 labels etc )
Thanks !!! Wishing everyone a nice weekend.

Laundry pen has worked fine for all our school uniforms.

I used iron on for MIL.

Need not have bothered; they paid no attention and we saw many of her clothes modelled by fellow inmates. They had her squeezed into size 10 knickers - she wore a 16…

However , those items which did come back to her had the labels still on.dn.

Have you checked with the care home? Only my mum labelled all my dad’s stuff and it was unnecessary as the home uses their own system (they use button tags)

Sewing is by far the clearest, and also the most resilient to the level of washing you'll get in a care home.
