Recommendations

If there is a dry without spin sign, you should not squeeze excess moisture out of the fabric, but immediately hang it for further drying. The label on clothing is intended to warn owners against unwanted damage or changes in the quality of the item after washing. If the icon warns about the need to dry vertically, you need to hang the clothes on a line or on a hanger, avoiding contact with any surface and straightening out folds in a timely manner. The tag with a set of symbols also indicates other conditions for washing and using the clothing. This label is intended to extend the life of the item and prevent mishandling.

What does it look like

There are three options for displaying the drying icon in a vertical position:

  • a circle containing a curved line within a rectangle;
  • curved line in a rectangle
  • image of a drying rack with clothes hanging vertically.
