Vasketøjssymboler forklaret

Plejeetiketter bruger fem grundformer: et vaskekar, en trekant, et kvadrat, et strygejern og en cirkel. Prikker tilføjer varme, et kryds forbyder handlingen. Når du kan læse formerne, bliver enhver etiket forudsigelig.

Noter

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Hvad betyder vaskesymbolen med 30?
Maskinvask ved maksimalt 30 °C — en kold vask egnet til de fleste syntetiske stoffer og mørke farver.
Kan jeg tørretumble, hvis kvadraten kun har en cirkel?
Ja — en cirkel i et kvadrat betyder, at tørretumbling er tilladt; prikkerne indeni angiver varmeniveauet.
Hvad betyder en overkrydset trekant?
Bleg ikke, med nogen type blegemiddel. Brug vaskemiddel uden blegetilsætninger.
