Bleaching symbols

Bleaching symbols are standardized markings found on clothing care labels that indicate how to properly bleach or treat fabrics. They guide consumers on whether bleaching is safe for the garment. A triangle symbol means you can use bleach, while a triangle with an "X" indicates bleach should not be used. If the triangle is empty, any bleach is permissible, but if it contains a specific notation, only certain types may be used. Understanding these symbols helps maintain the integrity and appearance of your clothes while preventing damage from improper bleaching.
