The number inside the wash tub gives the maximum washing temperature in Celsius and must not be exceeded. Bars beneath the tub indicate a milder process. Read the complete symbol as printed; if it is unclear or missing, do not infer a temperature from the garment alone.

Colour alone does not decide this; use the care label. An empty triangle allows chlorine or oxygen bleach, two diagonal lines allow only oxygen-based non-chlorine bleach, and a crossed-out triangle prohibits bleaching. Follow the bleach product's instructions as well.

Choose the action you want to check, then select only the corresponding symbol printed on the garment label. The tool reports allowed, conditional, not allowed, or insufficient information and links to that symbol's details. It does not infer from fabric or colour, and the complete garment label remains authoritative.

Both are professional processes but use different symbols and methods. Letters such as P or F inside a circle tell the cleaner which dry-cleaning solvents and process are allowed. A W inside the circle refers to professional wet cleaning with water, professional equipment, aids, and finishing methods. Check each process separately on the complete label.

The square identifies drying. A circle inside means tumble drying: one dot is a mild process up to 60°C, two dots are a normal process up to 80°C, and a crossed-out symbol means do not tumble dry. Lines inside the square describe natural-drying methods; read the exact line arrangement on the label.

The dots give the maximum sole-plate temperature under ISO 3758:2023: one dot is 120°C, two dots 160°C, and three dots 210°C. Choose the temperature from the care label, not from fibre content. A crossed-out iron means do not iron. A separate low-temperature symbol without steam may also appear; follow it exactly when present.
