What does the vertical drying icon mean (a square with a dash inside): explanation and care recommendations

Before drying an item, be sure to carefully study the tag with various signs and try to remember them. A square with a vertical line means that after washing the product should be dried vertically on a hanger or clothespins, since the product needs to sag slightly, otherwise it will simply shrink (jump) in length.

Recommendations

Never ignore the information that every clothing manufacturer puts on their labels. It is recommended to dry clothes with the described icon only naturally in an upright state, away from heating appliances and radiators. You can use special dryers or hangers suspended on a rope.
