do not bleach
Chlorine prohibition label
Do not bleach is a care instruction on clothing labels warning against using bleach, which can damage fabric or remove color.
The phrase appears as text or as a standardized symbol—a triangle with an X through it.
Check if it says do not bleach before treating that stain.
