WATCH: MY CARE LABEL App helps consumers take care of textiles
19/05/2022
Discover the mobile application that helps your consumers to take proper care of their textiles.
More than 80% of consumers find the care label useful but many don’t know how to interpret the instructions to get the most from their clothing and textiles, while also minimising the environmental impact.
The new GINETEX MY CARE LABEL App provides consumers with a tool to access comprehensive practical advice to properly care for their laundry.
Accessible from anywhere and totally free, the application is now available in five languages (French and English, as well as Spanish, Italian and German)
“Building on the success of the French and English language versions, GINETEX wanted to make MY CARE LABEL accessible to more users around the world,” says Alejandro Laquidain, President of GINETEX. “This mobile application intends to be complete, intuitive, and user-friendly, to provide easy access to all the useful advice and tips to properly care for their clothes and further extend their lifespan. Quite a significant asset, given that consumers are now increasingly aware of their environmental impact.”
- The English version: MY CARE LABEL
- The French version: MON ÉTIQUETTE
- The German version: MEIN PFLEGEETIKETT
- The Spanish version: MI ETIQUETA
- The Italian version: SEGUI L’ETICHETTA
