Understanding Laundry Symbols on Clothing Labels

Description

Clothing labels contain symbols that indicate how to wash, dry, iron, and bleach garments correctly. These symbols ensure that clothes are cleaned properly without damage. The washing symbols indicate water temperature (cold, warm, or hot) and whether the garment should be hand-washed or machine-washed. Drying symbols tell you whether to use a tumble dryer or air dry, and at what heat level. Ironing symbols indicate if ironing is allowed and at what temperature. Bleaching symbols specify whether chlorine or non-chlorine bleach can be used. Ignoring these symbols can lead to shrinking, fading, or fabric damage. Learning and following laundry symbols will help maintain clothing quality and longevity.
