Drying symbols

Drying symbols are icons found on clothing care labels that indicate how to properly dry the garment. They help prevent damage during drying processes. For example, a square with a circle inside means the item can be tumble dried, while a square with a line above indicates it should be air dried flat. A square with three vertical lines shows it should be hung to dry. These symbols guide consumers on the safest and most effective drying methods to maintain the garment's quality and lifespan, ensuring that clothes are treated appropriately after washing.
