The five shapes that matter
Almost every care label uses the same five shapes: a wash tub, a triangle, a square, an iron and a circle. Each one covers a single step, from washing to bleaching to drying to pressing to dry cleaning.
Numbers and dots
A number inside the tub is the maximum water temperature in degrees Celsius. Dots on the iron work the same way. One dot means cool, two means warm and three means hot.
A line through it means stop
A cross over any shape means do not do that step. When a label says dry clean only, take it seriously. Home washing can shrink or warp the fabric, and the damage is usually permanent.
