What does the wash in hot water sign mean (basin with three dots): interpretation and care recommendations

Before you start washing any item, be sure to carefully study the tag with various signs and try to remember them. Currently, the sign for washing in hot water is used in the form of a washing basin, on which three dots are depicted.

Recommendations

There are common signs on clothing labels:

• Washing basin – indicates the desired mode and temperature
• Circle pattern - indicates dry cleaning
• Iron – should you iron clothes or not?
• Square - indicates whether drying is needed or not
• Triangle – should I use bleach or not?

What does it look like

This symbol means that you can machine wash, but the maximum temperature should not exceed fifty degrees.

There is also exactly the same symbol, but with an underline at the bottom, which means that washing colored items with high-quality dyes is possible at a temperature no higher than sixty degrees.
