The Veltrix guide / care guide
A care symbol changes meaning when a number, bar, dot or cross is added. Read the whole label rather than identifying only its broad shape. The tool above explains the categories so you know what to look for; it does not replace the instructions supplied with a particular garment. Check both the garment label and any separate guidance for the printed area.
Keep the care information that arrives with your piece. If a listing and a label appear to disagree, ask for clarification before choosing a wash, drying or ironing setting. Include the item name and a clear photograph of the relevant instructions. Describe what is unclear rather than assuming that one general rule applies to every fabric and print.
