Washing symbols

Complementary signs
The cross of s. Andrea, placed on one of the basic graphic signs, indicates that the treatment expressed by that particular graphic sign must not be performed.
The bar under the tray or rim indicates that treatment should be performed moderately with respect to the treatment corresponding to the same bar graph.
The double bar under the tray or the rim indicates a very moderate washing treatment compared to the treatment corresponding to the same graphic sign without a bar.

Bleaching

This operation in aqueous bath, carried out before, during and after washing with the use of a chlorine-based product, is intended to eliminate stains and / or improve the whiteness.
The triangle indicates the bleaching treatment.
Any oxidizing bleach agent allowed.
Only allowed chlorine-free oxidative bleaching.
Bleaching not allowed.

Ironing

This is done on a textile product in order to restore its original shape and appearance by means of an appropriate equipment that uses heat and pressure.
The iron indicates the ironing operation. the maximum temperature levels are indicated with 1, 2 or 3 points placed inside the drawing.
Maximum temperature of the iron plate: 200 ° c
Maximum temperature of the iron plate: 150 ° c
Maximum temperature of the iron plate: 110 ° c
Do not iron. steam ironing and steam treatments are not allowed

Dry wash

This operation is designed to clean textile products using organic solvents.
The treatment includes cleaning, rinsing, spinning and drying
The circle indicates dry cleaning for textiles, excluding leather and fur products, It provides information on the various dry cleaning operations.
Dry cleaning with tetrachlorethylene, monofluoro-trichloromethane and all the solvents indicated for the sign f
Normal washing treatments, without restrictions.
Dry cleaning with the solvents indicated in the previous point.
severe limitations to the addition of water and / or to the mechanical action and / or to the washing and / or drying temperature.
Dry cleaning with trifluorotricloroethane, hydrocarbons (boiling point between 150 ° c and 200 ° c, flash point between 38 ° c and 60 ° c)
normal washing treatments, without restrictions.
Dry cleaning with the solvents indicated in the previous point.
severe limitations to the addition of water and / or to the mechanical action and / or to the washing and / or drying temperature.
Professional wet cleaning
very normal procedure.
Professional wet cleaning
delicate procedure.
Professional wet cleaning
very delicate process.
Do not dry clean.

Mechanical drying

This operation carried out on a textile product after washing is intended to eliminate the residual water by means of hot air, in a rotating drum, after a washing operation.
The maximum stress levels are indicated by 1 or 2 points placed inside the graphic sign
The circle inscribed in a square indicates drying with a tumble dryer.
Centrifuge drying
Drying by means of a tumble dryer tumble allowed (centrifugal)
Drying program at reduced temperature
Drying by means of a tumble dryer tumble allowed (centrifugal)
Normal drying program
Do not tumble dry (rotary) using a tumble dryer

Natural drying

Natural drying is a process carried out on a textile article after washing to remove residual water with a hanging or drip or flat drying, in the sun or in the shade
The square with other inscribed symbols inside indicate natural drying mode.
Vertical drying, hanging, after squeezing and / or spinning to remove excess water
Vertical drying of the water-soaked textile product in a hanging position, i.e. without squeezing and / or spinning
Dry on a flat surface, lying down, after eliminating excess water
Dry in the shade. this symbol is placed next to the hanging, dripping or flat drying symbols to indicate that the process must be carried out away from the sun
