What does the do not iron icon mean (crossed out iron): explanation and care recommendations

A sign on the clothing label in the form of a symbol of a crossed out iron means that thermal exposure, namely ironing, is impossible for this product.

Recommendations

Proper adherence to ironing regimes is included in the list of basic rules for caring for textiles. On the icon, symbolically representing an iron, there are a number of dots that indicate the maximum permissible temperature when ironing a thing.

Similar points are depicted on a real iron, so it is not difficult to determine the temperature limits for each type of fabric. Four dots indicate a maximum temperature of 200 degrees Celsius, but one indicates that ironing can only be done at a temperature not exceeding 110 degrees.

What does it look like

The symbol of a crossed out iron indicates that the product is made of a special type of fabric that does not allow thermal exposure, so ironing such an item is prohibited.

Compliance with these rules will help keep clothes in a condition that will please the owners for a long time.
