Clothing care and detergent regulation

Overview

Guidelines for garment maintenance emphasize mindful washing practices, such as following care labels, separating colors, and using cold water to prevent fading. Experts suggest air drying in shaded areas and drying knitwear horizontally to maintain garment integrity.

In the detergent sector, new EU Council mandates from June 14, 2024, are driving a shift toward more comprehensive labeling. Manufacturers are now required to ensure labels accurately reflect the combination of surfactants, fragrances, and preservatives, moving toward greater compositional transparency and safer usage instructions.
