care label

Garment cleaning guide

A care label is the small tag sewn into clothing or textiles with instructions for washing, drying, and ironing.

Care labels typically use standardized symbols—a tub for washing, a triangle for bleaching, a square for drying—alongside or instead of text: Check the care label before you wash that sweater.
