in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I have a Marks & Spencer Anorack and wish to wash it in the washing machine but can not see any washing labels on it.

Can anyone please tell me what setting to use?

    Washing instructions are sometimes tucked away on the insides of pockets. If you can't find anything, best to play safe and wash on a delicate wash. Or pop into M & S and see if you can find something similar and look for a label.

    I have an M & S coat. Inside the coat is an M & S label saying it is windproof, waterproof etc, etc - the washing label is inside a zip up pocket inside the coat.
