Fabric Care
Care Label Guide
The following information is provided by U.S. Federal Trade Commission as part of
Project Clean. The symbols appearing on garment labels provide care instructions
from the garment manufacturer. These symbols seen on the fabric serve as minimum
laundering instructions to indicate washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and dry cleaning.
Additional symbols or words or both may be used to clarify the instructions.
The water temperatures listed below are provided as a guideline. Actual water
temperatures obtained in the home depend on washing machine settings, regional
supply temperatures and water heater settings.

Care information tags are available on most
clothes sold in the United States. These
written instructions normally give a single
care method for your garment. When an
international care symbol tag is also present,
all cara methods will usually be shown. We
are happy to present the international
symbol guide as a handy reference to
help you select a correct wash and dry
program that supports the care method
prescribed by the garment manufacturer.
