Hi,

Please note that only the part in asterisks requires this community's input. The rest is just for "reference purposes" (i.e. constitutes the immediate context).

So fresh ... so clean (remember that radio song from them 'Atliens'?). I'd love for this translation to sound just like that. In other words: crisp.

***Kleidung im textilen Dienstleistungssystem unterliegt industrieller Pflege***.
Um die Schutzwirkung nicht zu mindern, ist es dem Träger untersagt, selbst Reparaturen durchzuführen bzw. Kleidung in der Haushaltswäsche zu pflegen.
Nur durch die regelmäßige Abgabe im textilen Dienstleistungssystem kann die Schutzfunktion erhalten bleiben, bzw. können eventuelle Verfallsdaten berücksichtigt werden.

UK English would be preferable, US English is welcome, too.

Thanks,

Cheers,

requires
Explanation:
Would "requires" be a nice, simple solution here? In the sense that, if something is subject/liable to something, it must submit to it.
