About

Washread

Read full description

Build a run from saved garment care cards and keep their instructions alongside cleaning, drying and put-away checkpoints. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Laundry Runs and select the care cards for the garments you are handling. 2. Review the saved instruction snapshots and record each garment’s cleaning and drying progress. 3. Share a handoff or complete the put-away step. Undo checkpoints in reverse order if needed. Care-symbol guidance and saved cards remain available. Load advice now distinguishes explicit cycle instructions and does not suggest washing a do-not-wash item separately. WHAT TO KNOW A run is a tracking list, not proof that garments belong in one load. Follow each label and consider fabric, color and soil. Unknown or missing washing instructions are not treated as machine-wash compatible. Label temperatures are maximums, not required settings. iPhone and iPad.
