Do You Know These Symbols?

American fabric care labels can be difficult enough to read, but internationally-manufactured clothing often provide different variations of cleaning care symbols.

Instead, we'll avoid the guesswork (and possibly damaging clothes) by getting to know these symbols and their meanings.
