LAUNDRY SYMBOLS EXPLAINED

MACHINE WASH WITH HEAT LEVELS

NORMAL WASH

The Washing Symbol tells you-what temperature or machine setting you should use to wash the item of clothing.

For ‘Hand Wash’ clothing, do not use a washing machine.

If the garment care label instruction reads 'Do Not Wash', it will have to be dry cleaned after it gets dirty – see the section on Dry Cleaning Symbols below.
