Does anyone have a good option for nursing home clothes labels? I have tried stickers and iron on and they both came off in the wash.

I do mom's laundry and they still misplaced 3 complete outfits. I am trying to label all the clothes, but the labels came off. I may not have had the iron hot enough or on long enough. I ordered more and will try a hotter setting.

Our mom's MC Facility had really excellent laundry service.again we used fine point Sharpie. Not one piece of clothing missing.

At both facilities my mother has been in the labels were placed on by the staff. The present one has them on so strongly that I can't even lift them slightly to see the label underneath if I am trying to check a brand or size. I would inquire if the facility has a method they recommend or possibly use. You could consider a magic marker. At least that can't fall off. Just don't put the room number in case it changes.

I used iron on labels from Starlight labels. Follow the directions and they never came off in the NH commercial laundry.

I used a black Sharpie and put her name right on the clothes—inside back near the collar.
