Finding out tips and tricks for doing the laundry can make it all a bit easier - but how much do you actually know about the dos and don’ts of laundry? Take our quiz to find out.

Here’s what Fairy Non Bio has to say: “After decades of listening to scientists, parents, shoppers and children we think of ourselves as the laundry experts for families. But there is always more to learn! Share your dos, don’t and tricks of the trade with us so we can make sure our products are made for you!”

However much you think you know about laundry, take our quiz to find out how well your knowledge stands up to the test and share how you did on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

I got 6/8 75% - those symbols are difficult to know what they mean unless alongside all the other ones on a clothes item

holdmybeer · 07/04/2018 10:00

87% and now googling the history of washing machines Grin

Dolallytats · 07/04/2018 10:49

87% not bad seeing as I am a 'get whatever washing stuff is on offer' and a 'bung it in, it'll be fine' kind of a washer!!

ClashCityRocker · 07/04/2018 14:59

75%. I guessed on the symbols as I am not a label checker...

KoalasAteMyHomework · 07/04/2018 15:26

Darn it only got 75%! But I did hit the wrong button on one when scrolling on my phone so that didn't help.

maclinks · 07/04/2018 21:08

87% and the one wrong was about history of the washboard so feel OK, no disasters for me

NauticalDisaster · 07/04/2018 21:10

87% but it should have been 100% as the empty circle is dry clean only, not 'do not wash'; the quiz was wrong.

sherbertlemon17 · 07/04/2018 21:50

75% but I’m sure the circle means Dry Clean only!

Zooeymama123 · 07/04/2018 22:32

75% not bad but don't really pay too much attention to labels.

perfectstorm · 07/04/2018 22:38

75%, though in full disclosure that would include guessing correctly on the random history question, and common sense. As soon as you needed to actually know something, it all went a tad wrong.

I do know how to wash silk now, though. Bra bags aren't just for bras. Who knew?

MrsFig · 07/04/2018 22:54

75% here

MimsyBorogroves · 07/04/2018 23:19

87%

Just got the one with the circle wrong.

Americantan · 08/04/2018 07:29

75%. Would still like to know how to look like Kate though Smile

CrazyOldBagLady · 08/04/2018 07:35

37% but I’d like to dispute some of the answers 😀

Byrdie · 08/04/2018 15:01

62% i hate those sodding symbols.

k8vincent · 08/04/2018 20:27

75% - my washing generally seems to survive.

Sugarhouse · 08/04/2018 20:39

87% but got to be honest had to guess most of them I just normally bung everything in with a colour catcher and hope for the best

Nigglenaggle · 08/04/2018 20:57

Chuffing Nora 50%!!! I expected to do better!!!

WibbleDribble · 08/04/2018 21:02

75% Not bad for an old timer!

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 08/04/2018 21:14

Another 87 with just one dubious wrong answer. Annoying as I really sort my laundry according to care instructions (after a disaster or two previously)!

Judyhopps · 08/04/2018 21:36

87%

magentastardust · 08/04/2018 22:31

75% , wasn't so hot on the symbols , which was rather annoying as I remember (well obviously not that well) studying them in Home Ec at secondary school!

MummyM33 · 08/04/2018 22:54

4/8... ooops!

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 08/04/2018 23:29

100% Grin

AaoograhaHoa · 08/04/2018 23:30

I scored 87%. Didn't know the "do not bleach" symbol. Which should tell you everything you will ever need to know about my laundry technique. GrinGrin
