Come on QVC if you want me to shop then please don't complicate things.

What does

MWCDC/WS/ONCBN/TDL/LIIN. mean?

I was considering some denim and co shorts this morning,but this stopped me from buying.

What did Customer Service say when you called them, which to me would be the first thing to do?

Wow! My guess with the first part - machine wash cold delicate cycle. Maybe someone else can figure out the rest.

More of it - tumble dry low; low iron if needed.

ONCBN - Only Non-chlorine bleach when needed.

I looked on the tag of the shirt I have on right now!

ONCBN = Only non chlorine bleach if needed

TDL = Tumble dry low

LIIN = Low iron if needed

WS = wash separately

Someone printed a whole list of abbreviations and symbols a few weeks ago which I have printed and pasted on my washer/dryer!!

I found this chart

http://www.nordstromsupplier.com/NPG/PDFs/Product%20Integrity/Labeling%20Requirements/2019/Care%20Labeling%20Abbreviations%20Chart.pdf

I read care instructions too. If it's not clear I won't buy

Thank you everyone.

I didn't call customer service. It used to be provided info without needing a periodic chart to figure it all out.

The "C" used to mean convienience, but that seems to be a thing of the past.

Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Google has been greatly improved. You can now enter even complicated questions and get good answers. You'll get all the washing instruction codes if you ask. They could hardly put all that on a little tag

Wow, you all did better than I did. Would not have figured that out.

Since someone has already done the hard work, Q should have this somewhere on here, where people can go and check this out.

Another poster said it means wash separately but I thought it meant wrong side. Who knows...

That is ridiculous. You shouldn't need a decoding specialist to order clothes. Like you, I would have passed.

Retailers are supposed to make it easy to spend your money, not hard. If they don't, I too would shop somewhere else.
