Washing Instruction – indicates whether the clothes need to be washed in the machine, the ideal water temperature, and rinse specifications, among others.

• The single tub indicates that the clothes must be washed by hand or in the machine, on a normal cycle.
• The tub with the number identifies the maximum temperature. In the case of the example, 95°.
• The line below the tub indicates that the piece cannot be centrifuged.
• Two dashes indicate the need for delicate washing.
• The hand in the tub indicates manual washing only.
• The tub with the X shows that it is prohibited to wash the fabric in water.
• Bleaching – indicates whether the pieces can be washed in chlorine or not.
  • The triangle with X prevents the use of chlorine-based bleach.
  • The bare triangle allows the use of chlorine bleach.
  • Triangle with CL indicates that chlorine can be used, as long as it is diluted in cold water.
  • Drying – general instructions on how this piece should be dried.
    • The circle with a dot indicates that the item can be dried inside the machine, but at a minimum temperature.
    • If the circle contains two dots, the laundry can be tumble dried at maximum temperature.
    • The circle with X is placed on clothes that cannot be put in the dryer.
    • The square without a circle indicates that this piece must dry naturally and in a vertical position.
    • Several vertical scratches indicate that the piece can dry vertically, but without being twisted.
    • If the square has a “lying down” line, this means that the piece must dry horizontally and without twisting.
    • Ironing process – informs whether or not the clothes can be ironed and what the ideal temperature is.
      • An iron with a little ball inside indicates that the clothes must be ironed with a cold iron – maximum temperature of 110° (acrylic, nylon and acetate).
      • Two dots indicate warm iron – temperature up to 150° (wool or polyester blend).
      • Three dots indicate that the item can be ironed with a hot iron – 200° (cotton and linen fabrics).
      • Iron with X indicates that the garment cannot be ironed.

Dry cleaning – these instructions are normally aimed at companies specializing in cleaning clothes, with very specific information on the types of products that can be used in the process.

• Circle with the letter A indicates that dry cleaning can be carried out with all types of solvent.
• Circle with the letter F: use of solvent R113 and hydrocarbon.
• Circle with the letter P: use of perchloroethylene, solvent R113; and hydrocarbon and solvent R11.
• Circle with X: the garment cannot be dry cleaned and stains cannot be removed with solvents.
• Circle with a line at the bottom: the item is sensitive to dry cleaning. It can be washed with the same solvents described in the letter written in the circle (A | F | P), however, there is a high restriction on the addition of water in the cleaning process or mechanical action or intermediate temperature.
