Doing laundry
Hello guys, I bought a piece of clothing and on its hangtag is:
Do not allow to lay on itself when wet.
Could you explain it to me? I am not sure about the meaning. Does it mean I can't just lay it, I have to hang it? Or what? :)

Well, I don't know what it means. 'Lay on itself' doesn't make much sense.
All I do know is that it's a bad translation from another language.
Two suggestions:
Are there any other languages on the label? You could photograph it and post it here, so anyone who speaks that language can try to come up with a better translation.
Otherwise, tell us what the garment is and what kind of fabric it's made of.

Your clothing must be DRI FIT or a uniform. It means that you should remove it immediately from the washer and hang it. You need to hang it immediately after washing.

No, don't hang it. In America it would usually say "lay flat to dry". It means don't fold it or stretch it, just lay it on a flat surface
