According to Samgmin Bae's research, 70% of laundry-doers don't read clothing care instruction labels. In response, Bae proposes an RFID label concept that replaces existing care tags on clothing and communicates directly with RFID-enabled washers, dryers, irons, presses, and dry cleaning equipment to determine proper levels for each garment/load. We're not sure what would happen if a wool sweater got thrown in with heavy cottons, but the way things work today, you'd end up with a doll shirt.

I love it. An RFID that not only visually communicates the garment's care instructions with its antennae, but also communicates with capable washers and dryers. Fantastic. How durable is the RFID on high heat dry? (possibly more durable than the garment it's attached to?)
Hi there
