![]() Dry cleaning instructions are shown with circle icons. Some items, especially professional clothes or garments made from luxury textiles, need to be dry-cleaned. You can't just throw every garment in the washer and be done with it. Turns out there's a difference between different types of dry cleaning. If there's a triangle icon with lines through it (like the middle icon above) then you can use specifically nonchlorine bleach, but only this type, otherwise the garment may be ruined. An open triangle means it's safe to use bleach, but a triangle crossed out means to never use any kind of bleach. The triangle icons on the care label will explain if you can or cannot bleach. However, most white linens and cotton garments are bleach-friendly. Certain materials like spandex, wool, silk, mohair or leather will be ruined by bleach no matter the color of the item. Here's an important tip: just because it's white, that doesn't mean it can automatically be bleached. Just because it's white doesn't mean you can bleach it. Lines crossed out below the iron means the garment can't be steamed.
