Icons for washing on clothes

First of all, it should be mentioned that all of the above symbols on labels refer not only to washing itself, but also to pressing, drying, ironing and bleaching or dry cleaning. Of course, we remember certain symbols,because they are very often found, for example, a machine wash icon. But we sometimes do not even know how to decipher other symbols on clothes for washing. Therefore, it is worthwhile to list those icons for washing on clothes with which you may encounter.
It is worth considering that different manufacturers may use different labeling. Therefore, the symbols on the labels may not have 100%coincidence, but they will mean the same thing. Such differences concern only the temperature regime. So, often instead of a digital indicator of the temperature of washing you can see the points. And sometimes even mixed symbols are used. But knowing the basic designations for washing clothes, you can easily understand everything that is written on the labels.
