17 Symbols on Clothing Labels That You Need to Know

Correctly reading clothing labels can make them have a longer shelf life. That’s because each fabric has its specific care. Some cannot be bleached, others require dry cleaning, and many require a specific ironing temperature.

O Incredible.club brings you the meaning of clothing label symbols. Check out.

Clothing labels contain the manufacturer’s brand and its CNPJ, the country of origin, size indication, the fabrics that compose it and conservation indications. Not only garments, but all textile products, such as towels, sheets, pillows, bedspreads, etc., have a legal obligation to provide this information in a visible place.

Have you ever thought about buying a food without the label? So it is. The importance of clothing etiquette is equal. They contain the information mentioned above, all of which are very important. Another point is that if the person does not obey the indications of the symbols, such as washing method, use of bleach and ironing, the manufacturer disclaims any liability.

If you remove it, you will void the warranty and you will not be able to exchange the piece in case of any problem such as if it shrinks or stains in the wash. Another overlooked aspect is that they contain information on the composition of the fabric that, for example, can cause allergic reactions due to the type of fiber.

Inmetro (National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology) provides specific standards for labels. The symbols should appear in this order: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional textile care (tips for when you send it to the laundry).
