Laundry symbols

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laundry symbols, also called care symbols, are pictograms which represent different methods of washing, drying, dry-cleaning and ironing clothing. They are written on labels attached to clothing, to indicate how a particular item should best be cleaned. There are different standards for care labels for the different countries/regions of the world. Below there are links to three of the most common standards. In some standards, pictograms coexist or are complemented by written instructions.

The Canadian system was formerly the most colorful one, using three colours - green for "go ahead", yellow for "be careful", and red for "stop". This system has been abandoned with the decision to move to a common international scheme.
