Washing
This symbol means that textile articles can be cleaned in an aqueous bath. More generally, the washtub symbolizes the domestic washing treatment (by hand or machine).
The number placed inside the washtub indicates the maximum temperature in degree celsius for machine wash
The hand placed in the washtub means hand wash only.
The washtub can also be underlined (one bar or two bars) to warn the user that a mild or very mild treatment must be used.

Chlorine Based Bleaching
-
Symbol Care Process
Chlorine-based bleaching allowed only in a cold and dilute solution
Do not use chlorine-based bleach
Ironing
-
Symbol Care Process
Iron at a maximum sole-plate temperature of 150 degrees celsius (steam iron may be risky)
Iron at a maximum sole-plate temperature of 150 degrees celsius
Iron at a maximum sole-plate temperature of 200 degrees celsius
Do not iron
Dry Cleaning
Letters (A, P and F) in the circle refer to the solvents which may be used by dry cleaners.
Underlining the circle indicates that a specific process should be used (mild process with strict limitations on the addition of water and/or mechanical action and/or temperature during cleaning and/or drying).
In this case, self-service cleaning is not allowed.
-
Symbol Care Process
Dry cleaning in all solvents normally used for dry cleaning with normal cleaning procedures
Dry cleaning in all solvents normally used for dry cleaning except trichloroethylene with normal cleaning procedures. Self-service cleaning is possible
The bar placed under the circle indicates strict limitations on the addition of water and/or mechanical action and /or temperature during cleaning and/or drying. Self-service cleaning is not allowed
Only petroleum solvents may be used with normal cleaning procedures
The bar placed under the circle indicates strict limitations on the addition of water and/or mechanical action and /or temperature during cleaning and/or drying. Self-service cleaning is not allowed
Do not dry clean - no stain removal with solvents
Tumble Dry
-
Symbol Care Process
Tumble drying possible at lower temperature setting (60 degree celsius maximum) after a washing process
No restrictions concerning the temperature of tumble drying after a washing process
Do not tumble dry
