Types of fabric and care labels

Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures.

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60°C.

Cotton

Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values.

Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.
