It explains basic labeling rules, the meaning of washing tub temperatures, ironing temperature dots, and drying line indicators, and highlights that milder treatments and lower temperatures are always allowed. Practical care guidance covers sorting by soil level, color separation, stain pre-treatment, and selecting easy-care washing cycles.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/","General",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/textile-care-symbols-washing-bleaching-drying-ironing/565764/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/textile-care-symbols-washing-bleaching-drying-ironing/565764.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"awa","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",7,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What do the textile care symbols represent on a garment label?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"They indicate the maximal severity of the care treatment that does not cause irreversible damage during the textile care process.

The GI NET EX symbols are also the origin of the international standards ( EN ISO 3758 ) .  \nThe care symbols may not be reproduced, issued or used without a special agreement with GI NET EX . Such an agreement commits companies to use the symbols correctly at all times. Unauthorized or improper use of the symbols may lead to legal action.  \nCommercial companies ( wholesalers, retailers, importers etc. ) are advised to ensure correct information of the care treatment of textile products and appropriate labelling in compliance with national regulations of the importing countries.  \nThe label provides information on the most severe treatment that does not cause irreversible damage to the article during the textile care process.  \nThe symbols refer to the part most sensible to the care treatment of a textile article. This includes: Colouring, finishing, accessories ( such as buttons, zips ) and applications.  \nThe care procedures applied according to the information given on the label guaranties that the article will not be damaged. However, there is no guaranty that soil and stains are completely removed.  \nMilder treatments and lower temperatures then indicatedon the label are always allowed.  \nConsumers should check the textile articles before buying, to make sure care treatments are mentioned of the label.  \nWASHING  \nCARE INSTRUCTIONS AND SYMBOLS  \nThe symbol indicates whether domestic washing is possible and applies both to hand and machine washes.
