Stop guessing. Start knowing. CareLabl scans clothing care labels and shoe material tags — from any brand, any country — and tells you exactly how to care for what you own, in plain English. SCAN ANY GARMENT LABEL Point your camera at a care label and get results in seconds. CareLabl reads international ISO symbols, US/Canada text instructions, and mixed labels. Works with thrift and vintage finds from any country. CLEAR, ACTIONABLE INSTRUCTIONS No more decoding cryptic symbols. CareLabl translates washing, drying, ironing, bleaching, and dry cleaning symbols into instructions anyone can follow, with the right temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius. KNOW YOUR FABRICS Every garment scan identifies the full fiber composition — cotton, polyester, silk, modal, elastane — so you know exactly what your clothes are made of. SHOE CARE Scan the tongue tag or inner label on any pair of shoes. CareLabl identifies the upper, lining, and sole materials — leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, mesh, or synthetic — then tells you what to avoid and how to maintain them. Take a second photo of the shoe exterior and get specific cleaning steps based on the condition and materials you're working with. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY Save garments and shoes to your personal library.
