# Source policy Canonical page: https://everydaygarmentcare.co.uk/source-policy/ Publisher: Everyday Garment Care About Everyday Garment Care How sources are selected, recorded and used in our articles. Everyday Garment Care uses sources according to the claim being made. A product manual, garment label and retailer listing answer different questions. We record the relevant evidence while researching and link to useful primary references in the article. ## Appliance instructions and specifications The exact manufacturer's manual is the starting point for operating positions, water types, cleaning, cooling, storage and user-replaceable parts. A shared manual can cover several models. We check which illustrations and notes apply to the named reference. Manufacturer product sheets support dimensions, capacity, controls and stated performance figures. Where a maker publishes different figures for different versions, we identify the relevant version or explain the uncertainty in the article. ## Garments and care symbols The care label describes the finished garment, including construction and decoration. General textile guidance helps explain a symbol or technique, while the garment maker's instructions determine how that particular item should be treated. We use recognised sources such as GINETEX and Woolmark for care-labelling and textile guidance. We check the edition where a standard has changed, as with the current and older ironing-temperature charts. ## Retailer listings and product photographs Amazon UK listings support the exact purchase destination, variant, pack contents and availability at review. We compare the model reference with manufacturer evidence before assigning a listing to a recommendation. Product cards display photographs obtained through the authorised Amazon image service. A marketplace title or customer review is assessed in its context. Additional retailer descriptions can help locate a model, followed by the manufacturer's evidence for its specification and compatibility. ## Costs and numerical comparisons Energy and cost articles identify the tariff, period, capacity or measured-energy source used. Example arithmetic shows its assumptions. Published performance figures remain attributed to the maker or testing body that produced them. ## Changed or conflicting evidence We look for the exact model suffix, document revision and original part reference when sources differ. A statement with unresolved compatibility is kept qualified or omitted from the recommendation until a reliable match is available. If an original web page moves, we seek the manufacturer's current equivalent or the exact official manual. Relevant model-specific maintenance guidance can remain useful after the appliance leaves sale. The [editorial policy]() explains how corrections and substantive updates are handled.
