Seventy per cent respect their textiles labels guidelines; eight out of ten consider the textile care label useful; and, seventy-five per cent would never (or rarely) buy a garment without care instructions. Paris-based GINETEX, the International Association for Textile Care Labelling, conducted the survey in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the Czech Republic and Spain.
