GermanHave baby and children's clothes professionally cleaned
It is sometimes not easy to interpret and understand the wide range of care instructions. Here you will find an overview of how to interpret the symbols and cleaning instructions correctly.
Have textiles for baby and children professionally cleaned
Professional textile care
The symbol indicates whether professional textile care is possible or not. For professional textile care, both organic solvents and specifically aqueous processes can be considered, therefore the care labelling distinguishes between dry cleaning (formerly dry cleaning) and wet cleaning.
Professional dry cleaning
The letters in the circle are primarily intended for the professional textile cleaner. They mainly give an indication of the solvent in question.
The bar below the circle means that the mechanical stress, moisture addition, bath and/or drying temperature must be reduced during cleaning.
Professional wet cleaning
The symbol for wet cleaning is used for articles that can be treated in water in wet cleaning processes. The requirements for the machine equipment, the auxiliaries used and the finishing methods cannot be achieved with the conditions of household washing machines.
