What does the wash icon 60 mean (basin with four dots): explanation and care recommendations
A sign on the clothing label in the form of a silhouette of a basin with water indicates that the item can be hand or machine washed.
Recommendations
If a basin with four dots inside is depicted, then it is recommended to wash the item at a temperature not exceeding 60 degrees.
Labels often mark textile items, such as clothing or bedding. Common symbols, such as the image of an iron, a circle (drying a product) or the already mentioned basin with water, help the consumer understand the rules for caring for products. Compliance with these rules ensures longer-term operation and protects the item from premature wear or damage.
What does it look like
The symbol with the image of a basin with water always indicates the maximum water temperature that is permissible when washing a particular product. This icon is indicated on the tag of clothing that is not resistant to boiling water. Temperature can be shown as a number (degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) or as a number of dots or horizontal bars.
Most often, a tag with product care marks is sewn into the inside of the side seam during production.Sometimes the tag is deliberately left outside, as for example when sewing clothes for newborns or very young children, this helps to avoid discomfort for the delicate and sensitive skin of children.
