A GUIDE TO LAUNDRY SYMBOLS: HAND WASHING

One more and the FINAL part of the care symbols on your garment label โ€“ hand washing.

A washtub with a hand indicates that the item should be hand washed or put in a delicate washing cycle of 40ยฐC/104ยฐF or lower. The number on the tub shows the maximum wash temperature (by Celsius). A cross through washtub means that the textile may not be washed under normal household conditions.

If the care label has a twisted symbol your item can be wrung. If the care label has a cross over the twisted symbol you should not wring it.
