Cleaning Codes

Cleaning codes provide information for the consumer on how to take care of a style item. The care instructions are found on the label of the style item. For example, the label might instruct the consumer to "Machine wash warm, no bleach, tumble dry low." Standard cleaning codes can be divided into five basic categories: washing, bleaching, ironing, dry cleaning, and drying. Each cleaning code is associated with its own UDC table. Within that UDC table, you can use the existing values or define new values. You use the Additional Style Item Information program to update these cleaning codes as well as other information about the style item.
