Editorial policy
The standards used to research, write, check and update this site.
Everyday Garment Care is responsible for the research, selection and presentation of its guides. Our articles draw on manufacturer documentation, recognised textile-care guidance and identifiable product listings.
Start with the reader's task
Each guide addresses a specific decision or care job. We identify the measurements, controls, garment restrictions and practical constraints that affect that task. A comparison should explain which differences matter and who may find an option useful.
When several methods are possible, we describe the conditions that make each appropriate. Care advice follows the finished garment's label and the exact appliance instructions, including model-specific cooling, water and cleaning requirements.
Select and identify products
We check model numbers, suffixes, sizes, colours and pack contents where these affect the recommendation. Manufacturer information supports specifications and compatibility. Amazon UK listings establish the retailer destination and selected variant.
Recommendations explain suitability and meaningful limitations. Shortlists can contain different numbers of products according to the verified choices available. If a model becomes unavailable, its documented instructions may remain useful to existing owners, with its availability shown beside any retained reference card.
Affiliate relationships support the publication. Editorial conclusions and the order of recommendations follow the evidence and the task described. Our affiliate disclosure explains how product links support the site.
Explain the basis of a claim
Manufacturer-stated dimensions, running times, capacities and energy figures are attributed in context. Calculations identify their assumptions, units and example inputs. A comparison between different appliances uses the conditions that the available evidence can support.
Worked examples show the formula and inputs so readers can follow the calculation. Source figures remain attributed to their publisher, and conclusions stay within the conditions those figures describe.
Accuracy and updates
Important factual claims are recorded against their sources. Articles show the month and year of their latest substantive update. We review a page when a model, manual, source, compatibility statement or recommendation changes.
Corrections should address both the affected statement and any related table, product record or linked explanation. We check the revised page's layout and links after making a substantive change. Retailer stock and prices can change independently of the review date.
Keep guidance usable
Instructions, comparison tables, images and FAQs are checked for clarity on desktop and phone screens. Product photographs come from the authorised Amazon source. Editorial photographs illustrate the subject and are selected to suit the advice around them.
Read the source policy for the kinds of evidence used and the About page for the publication's scope.
