Look at the care symbols before washing a new or unfamiliar item, especially delicate fabrics and special garments.
Find the Matching Symbol
Use the guide to match the washing, bleaching, drying, ironing or professional-care symbol shown on the label.
Check the Wash Instructions
Look for temperature, hand-wash or do-not-wash instructions before placing the item in the machine.
Check Bleach Guidance
Make sure bleach is allowed before using whitening or stain-removal products that contain bleaching agents.
Choose the Right Drying Method
Check whether the item can be tumble dried or should be line dried, drip dried or dried flat.
Check Ironing Heat
Use the ironing symbol to see whether ironing is allowed and which heat setting is suitable.
Look for Professional Care
Some fabrics may need dry cleaning or professional wet cleaning rather than normal home washing.

A few things before you start your deep clean.
Check unfamiliar fabrics first
Delicates, wool, silk and special garments can have very different care requirements, so always check the label.
Temperatures matter
Washing or ironing hotter than recommended can shrink, fade or damage some fabrics.
Drying symbols are important too
An item that washes normally may still need to avoid the tumble dryer or be dried flat.
You do not need to memorise it
The whole point of the guide is to give you somewhere easy to check whenever a symbol looks unfamiliar.
