Homecare Expert Reveals Game-Changing iPhone Hack For Reading Laundry Care Instructions

TikToker Madame Sweat confirmed a fellow TikToker's revelation that iPhones can tell you exactly how to care for your laundry just by taking a photo of the tag.

Except for a rare few, most of us despise the whole process of doing laundry: the dirty pile, transferring from washer to dryer, the folding, and the putting away. We might love clean, folded and warm clothes and towels, but the whole process of getting there hardly seems worth it.

And for certain articles of clothing, attempting to read and figure out the garment care instructions can be next to impossible due to the small font.


Fortunately, sometimes the best solution is right in front of you, and sometimes it involves a device that you probably have with you all the time already.

Popular for her silent book reviews, imagined interactions with Matt Damon, and "Why didn't I already know that?"-style life hacks, TikToker @wtfaleisa shared a hack for laundry that she was shocked she didn't know before: how to read the care tag with her phone.

Another TikToker, Madame Sweat, who is known specifically for her smart life hacks and navigating adult life, immediately took notice of the hack and endorsed it.

Madame Sweat reiterated:

"What [Aleisa] wants you to do is to take a picture of the laundry care tag on your garment."
"[After going into your phone's photo gallery], click on the information button at the bottom of your picture."
"What pops up says, 'Laundry Care.' Press that button, and look at what pops up! A page with all the instructions on how to wash [the clothes.]"

But others weren't convinced by the innovative concept.

Some TikTokers' minds were blown by this hack and were looking forward to using it, but there were others who felt that their usual methods for washing their clothes were effective enough on their own.

While this does not solve all of our problems regarding having to do laundry at all, at least we can rest assured that we are doing our laundry correctly.

Knowing how to read the care instructions, or seeing them in a more accessible size if the tag is too small to read, eliminates our need to be way too careful with our laundry, while also treating our clothes better than piling everything we own into the same load and hoping for the best.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
