Everybody has experienced it at least once—pulling out a favorite item of clothing from the washing machine only to find that it is now shrunken, discolored, or damaged! It is at this point that you wish you had paid more attention to the washing symbols on the care label. Here, we will explain the most common washing instruction symbols on wash care labels.
Wash Symbol Depicted as a bucket filled with water, the Wash Symbol tells you what temperature or machine setting you should use to wash the item of clothing. One Dot=30℃ Two Dots=40℃ Three Dots=50℃ Four Dots=60℃ Five Dots=70℃ Six Dots=95℃ | |
Permanent Press The Permanent Press symbol has one line beneath the standard wash symbol. Permanent Press fabrics have been treated with chemicals to ensure they resist wrinkles and keep their original shapes. If a piece clothing is permanent press, it usually means that you shouldn’t iron it. | |
Gentle Cycle The Gentle Cycle symbol has two lines beneath the standard wash symbol. The gentle cycle is for delicate fibres like wool or silk, or for items of clothing that could be damaged by a vigorous (剧烈的) washing. | |
Do Not Wash The Do Not Wash symbol is the standard wash symbol with a cross through it. If the label instructs you not to wash the item, it will have to be dry cleaned after it gets dirty. |
Now you’ve got the hang of washing labels; you can put your machine-washable items in the machine.
