Here are a few issues the team at Simply Laundry has faced which we are sure you can relate to:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-c7700673-9cb6-b387-f76b-39202dd8199c\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">This and that and that and\u2026:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> With the squabillion number of symbols on that tiny laundry tag, do you ever feel like you spend 80% of your designated laundry time squinting to figure out what you should be doing with that top you bought at the flea market for $15? Makes you want to do a cost-benefit analysis. Time is money after all \u2013 even more so on weekends!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-c7700673-9cb6-b387-f76b-39202dd8199c\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Square in a circle, dot in a triangle:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> Every laundry session has us rushing to google what those lines, double lines, dots, and crosses mean.
