What does the dry-without-spin sign mean (a square with lines inside): explanation and care recommendations
The square symbol with lines inside means that the item cannot be wrung out either in the washing machine or by hand. If this rule is violated, clothing may lose its appearance.
Recommendations
A symbol with horizontal stripes means that the item should be laid flat on a flat surface after washing, while a symbol with vertical stripes means that the item should be hung on a hanger after washing. In this case, buttons and zippers must be fastened, and pockets must be turned out.
What does it look like
The icon looks like a square with stripes inside. There are several variations:
- Two horizontal

It’s also worth taking a closer look to see if there is a rectangle at the top left. It means drying in the shade.
You need to look for the symbol on a label or tag on clothing. It can also be located on the tag.
