I got interested with these symbols when my son was born and I was doing all of our laundry what seemed like all hours of the day. So it was a good opportunity to play with machine learning and vision edge by gcp. Ended up building a pair of apps for iOS and android that can identify the symbols

I ended up washing everything on 40 degrees and throwing everything in the dryer. Works just fine.

Somewhat questions the value of these symbols versus text. Not disparaging the app, I'd need one to tell what they meant too.

Sounds like a failure of the point of those symbols. How about using words instead? Then you don't need an app to decode them. You can use google translate if you must.

The ultimate -parent- hack is to only buy colored clothes (no whites... And if you happen to get any just wash them with the colored clothes anyway) non shrinkable clothes. Dry on low - "damp dry" so they don't all get fried. One load every 5+ days. The thicker clothes hang around the edge of the clothes basket (sweat pants in our case).

Oh and I guess just by normal kid clothes (cotton/polyester) so they don't have special instructions.

Would you please clarify how doing laundry constantly allowed time for ML research? Is it just because you had maternity/paternity, or was there something about the laundry workflow that let you squeeze in this activity?

Very nice. Came here to see if someone had already made this.

I wonder about helping manufacturers generate a QR code to use alongside the symbols to provide a detailed per-label translation?

Very nice, my only comment would be that you can’t go back from the individual pages to the main page by swiping left (iOS)
