What does f mean in a circle on clothes: explanation and care recommendations

Recommendations
Option 1: if just circled
In this case, these clothes are designed to be cleaned in hydrocarbon solvents. Simpler - cleaning should take place in special solvents that contain petroleum. Trifluorotrichloromethane, freons or white spirit. These things are usually very strong and not very thin. Therefore, you can safely process them using the means described above.
Option 2: The “f” is circled and underlined
In this case, you have before you an item that needs careful cleaning in hydrocarbon solvents. The only difference is that this material from which the second thing is made is simply more delicate and can easily come apart along the seams or simply rub out during very intensive cleaning with such means. Therefore, you need to treat this thing much more gently and not apply much force when cleaning it.
What does it look like
The icon can be depicted in two versions: the letter “f” in a circle, or an underlined “f” icon in a circle.
