Notes :
When a verb is describing a noun, it is important to remember that it will never be in the ます・ません forms. These forms can only be used at the end of sentences, or before some specific phrases such as ので.

Make sure before laundry
① Don’t use it for clothes having the laundry symbols shown to the right. (And “wash with a neutral detergent​” label.)
② This product contains optical brightener. Light-colored clothes made out of cotton or linen will lose its color, so please use detergents without optical brightener for them.
③ In order to prevent gathering non-dissolved brightener, try to not concentrate it one place when you sprinkle it directly over your clothes.
④ For clothing that could lose its color, apply concentrated liquid on a discreet place for around 5 min. If the color changed or discolored, don’t use this detergent​.
● We recommend to rinse your clothes two times.

Notes :
Words that have condensed okurigana like 取扱い (regularly 取り扱い) are extremely common in Japanese, and can require some time to get used to. If the second kanji in a kanji construction has the regular okurigana, it is likely that the first kanji will also be read as its regular kunyomi.

Notes :
There are several words in Japanese to highlight differences between things. 差 is regularly used in negative situations, or when the difference is something that creates a barrier that is difficult to overcome.
