DryAir dry when the symbol is unclear.

Common mistake

Reading one symbol alone. Washing, drying, bleaching, ironing, and dry-cleaning marks work together.

If the label is unclear

  • Use cool water for washable fabric.
  • Air dry instead of tumble drying.
  • Test a hidden area or ask a cleaner for expensive pieces.
