them indicate the following:
• Maximum WASH temperature.
• Appropriate washing methods.
• Appropriate products.
• How to care for your garment.
• Appropriate ironing methods and temperatures.
The symbols are as follows:
WASH

• Can be washed both by hand or in the washing machine. The figures in the basin
indicate the maximum wash temperature.

When the hand is half submerged in the water, this means that the item should be
handled gently during washing. If it is fully submerged in the water, this means that
the garment should only be washed by hand.
• The line under the basin means that the item should be washed on a
gentle cycle.
