Laundry symbols are standardized icons that provide care instructions for clothing and textile items. These symbols are designed to help consumers understand how to properly wash, dry, bleach, iron, or dry clean their garments without damaging them. They are typically found on clothing labels and tags and consist of various symbols or images.
