Symbols in clothing, what do they mean? Is your newly purchased sweater completely worn out after being washed in the washing machine? The new pants come out of the dryer in a child's size?

Well, you might have been able to know about these problems beforehand if you had looked more closely at the symbols. There are so-called care symbols or washing instructions on most items of clothing. All the beautiful symbols are intended to help you avoid “washing or ironing” the item of clothing. On T-shirts and sweaters they are usually on the inside on the left side, on trousers at the front of the waistband.

Well, and when you find them, you'll say: Huh?! What does that mean? What does the line under 30 degrees mean, among other things? And what does the crossed out circle in the square mean? Okay, here's the resolution. One click shows you the remaining symbols of the respective group.

The symbols explained!

Our cooperation partner Checked4you simply explained the symbols. Of course, these things are not new and you should actually know what they mean. But hey, between you and me: would you have known all that?
