What do textile care symbols mean?
Why is it important to read washing, drying and ironing symbols together?
Five basic care groups
The GINETEX care system expresses washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional textile care through separate symbol groups. The symbols on the label should be evaluated together.
Follow the label
The appearance of a product alone does not determine the correct care method. Follow the garment’s own care label; a process suitable for one fabric may not produce the same result for every component on it.
Consider accessories too
If you are developing your own textile product, evaluate care conditions together with the accessories. Obtain product information about the stopper’s suitability for the intended care conditions and check it on the finished product.
