A plain circle generally indicates professional cleaning, including dry cleaning. Additional letters or markings provide instructions for cleaners.
Do not confuse it with a circle inside a square, which represents tumble-drying. If your garment requires professional cleaning, washing it at home could damage its fabric, lining or shape.
Before your next laundry load, spend a few seconds checking these symbols. That small habit can help your favourite clothes stay in good condition for longer.
