Tumble Dry High Symbol on Silk

This page gives a quick read on the tumble dry high care mark for silk.

Treat the symbol as the limit, not a suggestion. For silk, choose the gentlest setting that still matches the label.
WashUse the strictest label limit.
HeatLower heat is safer when fabric is uncertain.
DryAir dry when the symbol is unclear.

Safe default

Use the gentler option and avoid heat unless the label clearly allows it.

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.
