Ironing symbols
Ironing symbols are pictograms found on clothing labels that provide essential information about how to care for and iron a garment. Each symbol indicates the appropriate temperature setting for ironing, whether steam can be used, and if there are special considerations, such as avoiding certain fabrics. For example, a plain iron symbol suggests that you can iron the fabric, while an iron with two dots indicates a medium heat setting. A crossed-out iron means do not iron. Understanding these symbols helps to maintain the garment's integrity and appearance while preventing fabric damage.
