Clothing labels can be quite elusive when it comes to washing directions. The symbols and icons for certain directions leave many confused and finding themselves with empty pockets after massive dry cleaning bills.
The Scan & Hug is a device by Tian Lingrui that helps read your clothing labels and decipher the actual instructions. Once the labels are scanned, the Scan & Hug washes your clothes and saves you water, time and labor.
All you have to do is place your clothing item near the Scan & Hugs lamp where it will interpret the clothing labels. Once the scanning is complete, just hang your attire on the hook and sit back and relax while the Scan & Hug does the rest of the washing for you.
