I got half right and half wrong I thought I knew it all until today!

I got 62%, considering that everything goes in the washer and tumble dryer and if something ends up ruined I just chuck it, I'm surprised it wasn't less.

62%
I wash most things on a 40 cycle, apart from the odd hot white wash. I don't own anything dry-clean only, I don't have a tumble dryer, so most labels don't really apply to me.

75% could be worse. My washing machine is 18 years old now, actually made in Wales. It won't wash cooler than 40 C though so I have to hand wash more delicate items or they shrink.

75% I was expecting worse tbf.

62% and I thought I knew all there is to know about the washing!

62%

Thought I would have done better the amount of washes I do a week

62% with a few guesses!

75% - a lot of it guesswork!

75% scrubbing board and do not wash tripped me up. Gah!

87% for me!

62% – oops. It was the symbols about do not wash/bleach that I didn't know!

87% - got the washing machine history one wrong.

75% -I got both symbol questions wrong

75% so 2 wrong - the symbol one (I thought it was dry clean but it said do not wash) and the date of the wash board one. Dates are tricky.

75%.

The empty circle means dry clean only not do not wash.

Got 5/8. 62.5%

75% and I was a little surprised, I thought I'd do better.

62% - might have to step away from the washing machine.

87%

I got the same one wrong that Alibubbles did, and for the same reason.

However, in real life, despite my almost encyclopaedic knowledge of washing symbols, I usually just bung everything in together on 40 degrees . . .

I have to confess that this shows.

50%! Terrible, I hoped I'd do better considering I do washing most days

75% and I still don't know when scrub guards were first used.

62% 😳
To be honest everything gets bunged in together in this house. White shirts, kids clothes, underwear 🤷🏼‍♀️ My only exceptions are new things really. And a separate wash for towels.

I got 75% not too bad

I'm impressed with myself if I'm honest.
