Clothing labels feature symbols that provide care instructions, such as guidelines for washing, drying, and bleaching. For example, a triangle symbol relates to bleach use: an empty triangle means bleach is safe to use; a crossed triangle means no bleach; and two diagonal lines in a triangle or "CL" with a cross mean only non-chlorine bleach is safe. Understanding these symbols helps avoid common laundry mistakes, preserving garment quality and extending their lifespan.
