A shared wash temperature is incomplete
The selected records all list40°C machine washing,but their drying and ironing fields differ. A common wash temperature does not establish a universal programme for every fabric,colour or trim. The actual received labels remain the final product-specific reference for care.
Keep the drying difference
The sweatshirt and T-shirts allow low-temperature tumble drying in the retailer specifications. The Polarn O. Pyret leggings say do not tumble dry. Do not transfer the first two instructions to the leggings merely because all three contain cotton. No actual drying or shrinkage trial was carried out here.
Read ironing and other instructions
The sweatshirt lists a maximum150°C iron and reverse-side care;the T-shirts say cool iron;the leggings say warm iron. A named iron setting is not converted here into an invented temperature where the source does not provide one. The selected sweatshirt and shirt records also include no-bleach/no-dry-clean fields and fire warnings.
A practical next step
Keep each item’s care record with its exact code before combining a laundry load. If a web field and supplied label differ,retain both and ask the seller rather than inventing a compromise programme. The site does not guarantee colourfastness,skin safety,wrinkle resistance or a particular after-wash fit.
A concrete purchase record
For a mixed laundry plan,the drying field is a decision-changing difference:the leggings prohibit tumble drying while the other two records allow a low-temperature setting. Keep that field visible beside the fibre composition. The site does not invent a compromise setting or claim to have tested the items together.
