Het eerste symbool geeft aan of een kledingstuk geschikt is om thuis te wassen en welke maximale temperatuur daarbij gehanteerd kan worden.
The triangle indicates whether and which type of bleach is suitable for cleaning the garment. Bleaches can help remove discolouration from light fabrics, but require careful application. For coloured materials, the use of bleach, especially at higher temperatures, is not recommended to preserve colour and quality.
The square indicates the best way to dry the garment. The symbols show whether the garment can be tumble dried, line dried, or dried flat. By following the recommended drying instructions, the fit, fiber structure, and quality of the fabric will be preserved for longer.
The iron symbol indicates whether a garment can be ironed and at what temperature. The number of dots in the symbol represents the permitted heat, with more dots indicating a higher temperature.
The symbol with the circle indicates whether professional cleaning is recommended. The letters in the symbol refer to the permitted solvents that can be used in dry cleaning. If this symbol is present, we advise against washing the garment yourself and recommend having it cleaned by a specialist.
